ListName from parameter

Hi All, I would like to use a Parameter (List_Param) instead of hardcoding the name of my list to filter out some of the rows from several tables in the model. #"Remove Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"...

    You are right taskob, but you can do it this way (it works also in Power BI)

     

    I've hardcoded your lists into a table. See attached .pbix file.

Hi taskob, it is possible, but we don't know how do you store your lists for such parameter. Do you store them as a separate queries? 

 

You can do it this way for example. Check attached .xlsx file!

      It works the same in Power BI Desktop.

        If you list the data from Element_values in a visualisation, it works for you? For me it's ok in Query editor, but no data in the visualisation.
