filter a table in a query based on a parameter and update remaning tables

[lehmberg]

My database has company table containing mutltiple companies. It also has many other tables related to the company table.

I want to make reports for a specific company and have created a parameter called company id. I filter out every row in the compnay table that is not equal to that parameter and that works great.

My questions is this: Is there a way to remove rows in all other tables where the company does not exist anymore because it has been filtered out using my paramter. Or do I need to manually apply a filter to each table?

Hi @lehmberg,

I agree with @austinsense. To remove rows for all query tables, you need to add filters on each query table. As you have created a query parameter, you can set filter based on the query parameter. Currently, we are not able to remove rows from all query tables in a batch.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

You have to filter every table BUT the new parameters feature released in the April 2016 update to Power BI Desktop will make life easier.

Sounds like you're already doing it this way - you set a paramater once and then reference it in all your queries - when you change the parameter it then updates all your queries with the new value.
