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.

For reference: Parameters - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
