Parameter Bound to Slicer and Query but not updating Table with Import Mode through Slicer

Hi there!

 

I've recently had a lot of success with binding paramters to slicers and underlying queries (against a Snowflake table), but I wanted to rather have a table use a dynamic query to import data via import mode rather than use direct query so that data is imported dynamically based on changing slicer values. What I have is:

 

Slicer 1: "ID"

Parameter 1: "P_ID" within the query editor, that I've bound to Slicer 1

Fact table: "F", and the query for this is "SELECT * FROM F WHERE ID = #{P_ID}"

 

When I include Slicer 1 on my visual and change the value for it, the visual of the Fact table doesn't change, even when I hit the refresh button. However, when I go to Transform Data, and then edit parameters and then update the value there, the visual of the fact table updates correctly.

 

My question is: am I doing something wrong with my slicer? Or do I need to refresh the visual a different way on changing slicer values (or change any setting), and if this isn't possible, is there a way for me to get the "edit parameters" screen into the visual to make it more user friendly?

 

Thanks!

@topographical12 , It seems like you are trying for the Dynamic M parameter, that can be used for Direct Query
