Managing Parameters in dataflows without editing the dataflow.

Submitted by on ‎03-22-2024 06:19 AM

Like Power BI Dataset, we can't manage or change parameters of dataflows in settings windows. in order to change the parameters of dataflows we have to go to edit mode and then we are able to change it. Many a times we only want to change the parameter without editing the query.

In Power BI Dataset, It more easier to manage those in refresh settings window. It would be awesome If we get similar experience with dataflows as well.

Thanks

Recently this year we delivered a new functionality specific to Dataflow Gen2 where you can pass parameter values to change the evaluation of the Dataflow:

Use public parameters in Dataflow Gen2 (Preview) - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

 

It is purposefully a different mode for evaluating Dataflows. We also plan to support workspace variables in the future, so you would have ways to have a centralized way to define and modify your variables whilst they can be leveraged by all the Fabric items that reference them.

Giving this my vote. Yes this it's probably something that has been missed when implementing. Because using deployment pipelines we can change parameter values...

I use parameters to limit the amount of data I have when developing (using a folded to 10)
