Passing parameter via slicer

Hi community, 

Hoping you can help me out.

Not sure if this is possible.

I have a report, which has a slicer. My goal is to pass the slicer value to the underlying query, so that the query is automatically regenerated. Basically: pass a slicer value as a parameter to the underlying query.

 

The slicer value is set from 0 to 100, and this value is then used against an API to get the respective relevant data for the report.

 

I know this is possible in DirectQuery mode, but this report is currently in Import mode.

Anyone can point me to the golden hint?
