Power Query filters and Parameters

Hi Team,

 

I have a small doubt. i.e 

I applied the parameters in power query by adding the Canada country as parameter and then in power bi desktop i can see only Canada data it's fine. But the same thing i  can achieve without using parameter also ryt? by filtering the countries in power query ui and achieve the same result. I need to understand the usage of parameter here. without using also i can filter it in power query and same data will be displayed in power bi destkop. appreciate your help lbendlin , Greg_Deckler 

  • Parameters can me modifed from outside the semantic model. Filters can only be modified inside the semantic model.  That makes parameters useful for CI/CD etc.
