    Hi ksax

    I usually enter the value I want to use for my query in the current value.

    Hi ksax,

     

    The Current Value setting allows users to specify the value for the parameter in the current report. 

     

    It should be noted that if the Required check box is enabled, this field must be filled in. Otherwise the Current Value is optional. This item is very much like the default value for a parameter in SSRS. You may also want to note that currently only a single value is allowed. For more details about using Parameters in Power BI, you can refer to this article. :smileyhappy:

I have the same question: how to FORCE a Parameter to return the 'max' or single value in the List? It currently says 'blank'. Not found an answer yet, but have not spent more than 30 mins googling.
