Hi Everyone,
We developed a dashboard in Power BI (June 2022 edition) where we bound a date/time report parameter to a live dataset. Works perfectly.
When we came to export to Power BI server, we firstly downloaded Power Desktop Desktop RS edition (January 2022). However the bind to parameter option was not exposed in advanced settings for this report.
What is going on? Why is this option not exposed in Power BI Desktop RS edition? To see what displays using the June 2022 edition:
Has anyone had any similar issues? Will this be resolved in the next Power BI RS edition?
Would appreciate your input and whether there is a workaround for this feature?
Best Regards, JRB
Just to provide an update - I have upgraded Power BI Server and Power BI Desktop version to May 2022. However, this still is not working. Can somebody please fill me in why Power BI Server does not appear to allow parameter binding to direct query. Thanks.
Hi @JRBBI ,
This feature is currently not available on the power bi report server.
Please submit your ideas on power bi ideas or vote for the idea.

Gee that is dissapointing. Thanks for letting me know. Perhaps this will be a feature in the next addition. Will definitely share the idea.
