Hi There,
I have a unusual ask here.
Can I pass the complex logic/calculations as an input to PowerBI reports. For ex. can I pass M query steps/DAX calculations as a parameter/input from a Excel file source which can be picked up by PowerBI reports when I refresh the data ?
I am able to pass static values from an Excel sheet into a dataset which I am able to consume in another dataset inside in the Edit Queries(M) tab. However I am unable to pass complex logic steps (Merge datasets, Group data etc.) which is then used in Advanced Editor for datasets.
Any inputs will be of great help..
Thanks in Advance,
Ajay
