Hi chanukya_p,

The Input Parameters cannot be passed to the report in Power BI Service. The Parameters can be passed only to a Power BI Template file and that too restricted to Desktop

    Hello Thejeswar,

     

    Thanks for your reply. Is there any alternate way to pass the input parameters in Power BI desktop to Power BI service?

     

    Regards,

    Chanukya

      Hi chanukya_p,

      Not likely there is a workaround for pasing Input parameters to service, as far as I know

       

      There is one way you can alternatively handle this. But it might or might not satisfy your need

      As long as there is no any column that works based on your parameters, you need not have to allow users to provide input parameters.

      You can alternatively provide the users to select the same using slicers. But the limitation is you might have to redesign the report to work using slicers

       

      If slicers are not desired, you can give the users select the same using Visual filters/ page level filter/ report level filters
