Semantic Models and Parameters

Hi there,

 

Does anybody know if its possible to use a semantic model (Dataset) along with parameters?

 

I have an exported template that opens with a parameter, but I wanted to carry the parameter across with a dataset.

 

Thanks

 

Liam

Hi @lherbert501 
Take a look at the linked blog post.

It seems that it can help:

Hi @Ritaf1983 ,

 

Thanks, it doesn't look like it mentions semantic models though which seems to be the limitation.

 

I can export my query parameter to a template no problem and this works well. If I change this to point to a semantic model (Dataset) and export this then the query parameter doesn't display on the PBIT.

 

Thanks
