Parameters

Hi

 

I created the following parameter, attached to a slicer to be able to modify its value. As follows:

Then I created a custom column, where I would like that each line value is automatically set to that parameter value. I did as follows. But as you can see it does not work. Do you know how to proceed?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

What if parameter can only be used in measure instead of calculated column, so you can create measure like DAX below.

 

Meaure1= Parameter[Parameter Value]

 

You can learn more:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-what-if.

 

Best Regards,

@Anonymous , Calculated column can not take dynamic value from the slicer. So think how can you get the same as a measure .

@Anonymous You cannot have a calculated column interact with a slicer since columns are only calculated at data load/refresh.
