update SQL filter from a date from the dashboard
Hello all,
I'd like to know if a filter in a SQL query can be changed according to a date from within the dashboard :
I import my datas from a SQL database so i prefilter my datas according to a specific date (here 01/03/2022):
So my datas are already prefiltered on the date. However, I'd like to make this filter dynamic and be able to change the date according to whats in the dashboard. So if someone changes the date in the dashboard in the green rectangle (in the screenshot bellow) and enter for example march 9th, I'd like the query to be filtered on the 9th of march. Is there any way this is possible ?
For now the only solution that I have found is to add a parameter and change the parameter, but it's not really what I want as the user has to change a parameter and cannot change the date direclty in the dashboard.
thank you !

NO, you can't so far.
Hi alicemntt ,
I think the dynamic M query parameters would achieve a similar output. You need to connect to the SQL Server data source using the DirectQuery mode, and you can only change the parameter values sent to SQL Server using the slicer rather than manual input.

Actually it was not possible for me to use a Direct Query but yes otherwise it seems like it could have been a solution. But in the end I actually didn't need to change the date anymore so š¤·š¼āāļø Thank you anmyways !
