We are spinning in circles 🙂 Your screenshot with the table is from your Table view and my solution is applicable in the Report view (see the attached screenshots).

Ahhh well then this solution is not applicable for me. I want to add a column in the table and not in the report. I have already made a parameter (see already send picture second column on the right 'uurselectie'). But the thing is that in Tableau you can use a parameter as a column in the table and change it via a selection, in powerBI you can add the parametervalue in the table, but here you can not change the parameter value via een slicer/ selection in the view.

Many thanks for you time I appreciate this

    I think Tableau is mixing things up a bit. In PowerBI you do the selection at Report level not at dataset level (or at least not that I'm aware of).
