how to make a variable for the company name in the connection to the power BI content package of NAV

Hi guys, I'm going to venture into the development of power BI for Dynamics 2015, and I wanted to know if any of you
Has generated a variable for the company name in the connection to the BI power content package of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
The goal is to make a generic cube that suits any company.

Hi @Nube,

 

I agree with Matt. Using Power BI Templates feature should meet your needs in this scenario.Smiley Happy

There was a template feature delivered in April that allows you to write a PBIX for one configuration, save the workbook as a template, and then use that template to connect to a different set of configurations.  You question sounds like this could help.  You can read about it here https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/deep-dive-into-query-parameters-and-power-bi-templates/

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
