Parameter while maintaining Direct Lake connection

Hello Guys!

I am new to the Fabric and PB. As mentioned in the subject. I created semantic model in Fabric connect it to dashboard on Power Bi desktop. I am trying to create a parameter in dashboard to swtich between graph while keeping live connection (Direct Lake). The create parameter option is grey-out from my PB desktop. I am not sure is there any solution that allow me to create a parameter (besides coding on Tabular Editor) or parameter-like option that allow me to switch between graph like what parameter allow me to do. 
Will there by any upcoming update from Microsoft to deal with this issue in the near future?

Thank you in advance.

@MinCK , for measure switch you can use calculation groups.

 

For Axis/Dimension switch you can use Bookmarks.

 

Field parameter is internally supported, you can try workaround
