What does this Icon Question Mark mean?

Highlighted in yellow.
How do I re-create it?

Thank you!

Bin_Size =
GENERATESERIES(1, 30, 1)

 

  • roncruiser That is a Numeric range parameter. You can create one from the Home tab in Power BI and going to Modeling, then New parameter and then Numeric range.

    This happens when we create field parameter in power bi desktop.

  • Hi roncruiser 

    That question mark is an extended property auto-added to a column when creating a numeric or field parameter using the GUI. As a numeric parameter, the column can be added to a slicer as single select. The same property can be applied to  any numeric column using Tabular Editor which is useful if the column is, say, in a fact table and not a what-if parameter table. Otherwise, you can just create a new numeric parameter from the modeling tab

      It does not work with that method.  Shown after the calculated table is created below:


      This creates a New Parameter with a slicer.  Which is what I need.

      GENERATESERIES(1, 30, 1) is defined below:


      After creating the New Parameter with slicer:


      Thanks.
