Report Builder | Converting DAX Query to Multi-Select Parameter

I am having trouble converting my multi-select DAX into Report Builder:

// DAX Query
DEFINE
VAR __DS0FilterTable =
TREATAS({"07072021-047", "07132021-013"}, 'IPAR'[Referral_ID])

VAR __DS0FilterTable2 =
FILTER(
KEEPFILTERS(VALUES('factCase'[OStatus_DT])),
AND(
'factCase'[OStatus_DT] >= @p_sDate,
'factCase'[OStatus_DT] < @p_eDate
)
)

I am very comfortable in Visual Studio 2019.  But the examples I have seen for multi-select are for SQL.  My multi-select, in this case, has available values sourced from a query.

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!

FYI, The post is for "Report Server" group. 

 

Based on your file, you configured the "p_Referral" as multiple values. 

 

1) you need to add the parameter to the dataset as below. 

    <QueryParameter Name="Referral">
     <Value>=Join(Parameters!p_Referral.Value, "|")</Value>
     </QueryParameter>

 

2) Change your DAX as below, in the dataset

VAR __DS0FilterTable =
TREATAS({"07072021-047", "07132021-013"}, 'IPAR'[Referral_ID])

 

as

 

VAR __DS0FilterTable =
// TREATAS({"07072021-047", "07132021-013"}, 'IPAR'[Referral_ID])

FILTER( VALUES('IPAR'[Referral_ID]), PATHCONTAINS (@Referral, 'IPAR'[Referral_ID]))

 

3) Optional: DAX generated by Power BI is typically huge. you can tweak it (or reduce it) to your needs.

 

Hope this helps!

@sevenhills Thank you so, so much!  I struggled with this for so long before receiving your solution.  I apologize for using the wong forum and I will work to tighten-up the DAX.
