What if parameter with direct query

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to use what if parameter with direct query method ? 

Or do you have any workaround for this ?

The newest article i could find. It says no.

  • Anonymous , I tried it once and I remember I was able to add but you have to check. It should convert it into a mix mode and should work.

    Add the what if parameter and use its measure in other measure formula

      Do you mean composite models ?

      I couldn't able to use composite models. 

      My datasource is SAP BW

      The following Live Connect multi-dimensional sources can't be used with composite models:
      
      SAP HANA
      SAP Business Warehouse
