PowerBi report server - new feature of may 2022, p...

Anonymous · ‎06-09-2022

Hi, I downloaded and updated my power bi report server to May 2022 version and my power desktop also May 2022.

On Desktop Version, I enabled the function on preview:

I created a parameter based on fields, which works perfectly on the desktop version, when I uploaded it to the Report Server, the fields do not work when I click on the slicer to change the parameter. The Dashboard appears loading a while but don't change.

Hi @Anonymous

I checked the Power BI Report Server May Update Blog and it seems that there is no function to update Field parameters.

If you have an urgent need for this, you can post your thoughts on the Ideas forum. If a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

@Anonymous @Anonymous I had the same problem. This is both unfortunate and disappointing. As it stands, I can create a PBIX using field parameters in May 2022 desktop and push it up to a PBI May 2022 report server. The user can "select" from the list of field parameters, but the impact on the visualization I want to slice by has no impact.

So basically I can push up something that appears to work in the designer, but (unless someone wants to correct me), this feature is dead-on-arrival in PBI report Server. I hope I'm wrong because I want to use this feature. But if I'm correct, this is a real let-down.
