Hi All,
I had a question about parameters.
Suppose I have a table in PQ with the names and age. I make two parameters to filter on name and age through Excel cells.
How can I change the parameter so that I can have all the names when I only want to filter on the age column (or the other way around: just filter on name and not filter on age)?
Currently, there has to be a value otherwise I am getting an error message.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi @naveen73 ,
Try unchecking required box when creating the parameter:
Then modify the filter query, like:
Returns true when a null value is passed as a parameter.
