Iam using power bi Version: 2.115.1006.0 64-bit (March 2023) , currently working on direct import of excel file . I have created the parameter and used in my m query also for filteration, my issue is that iam not able to find option to bind the parameter to a slicer column for user filtertion. It would be great if someone could help.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

According to your statement, I know you get data from excel file by import connection mode.

 

As far as I know, dynamic M query parameters give model authors more control over the filter selections to incorporate into DirectQuery source queries.

 

So I think you need to connect to the data source which supports DirectQuery connection mode to use this feature.

 

For reference: Dynamic M query parameters in Power BI Desktop

Thanks a lot for the answer. Ya , I think thats the reason. I may have to find  a work around which would allow the end user to filter the calculated table as per their selection.
