Hi
I have set up two parameters to control the different data sources (from SQL server).
These two different data sources with the same table name will use the same template.
My question is how to add a filter or button or something can let user to click and switch the data sources for the template and update immiediately? Thank you!
Hi @it_kwwk ,
If you are using DirectQuery, you can use the dynamic M query parameter. which allows the user to pass parameters by changing the value of the slicer.
