Any idea why this is disabled and if there is a way around this? This is blocking my customer tremendously.

A Microsoft employee is asking us (a general user community) why Microsoft has diabled parameters?
I'd have to guess it is because the DQ to AAS is still in preview and the functionality isn't there, has security problems, or is broken.
DAX is for Analysis. Power Query is for Data Modeling
