    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    To pass a parameter to a DAX query in Power BI, you can use the SELECTEDVALUE function. This function allows you to returns the value when the context for columnName has been filtered down to one distinct value only.

    You can create a table and then bind a column field to your parameter. Binding a field to a parameter means that as the selected field value changes, the value passes to the parameter and updates the query that references the parameter.
