How to add connector combo box in report

[jdgenest]

Hi,

I migrate ssrs report to power bi desktop but i have new challenge.  Actually, we can choice environnement with a select box and this last one change the data connector(teradata) but, we can do this like with ssrs in power bi. 

so, i wonder if it's possible with power bi desktop or i'm just in the wrong way.

Hi @jdgenest ,

Here I suggest you to try Parameter in Power BI Desktop.

Current the slicer and filter not able to directly interact with the backend query tables connection string.

You can change the data source in Power Query Editor or Power BI Service Parameter Selection.

Parameters give you the flexibility to dynamically change the output of your queries depending on their value, and can be used for:

• Changing the argument values for particular transforms and data source functions.
• Inputs in custom functions.
