use current date in current value of manage parameter

[Umair_Aslam01]

Hi everyone!

I am trying to use date parameters in the Power BI direct query but I am facing a problem. Can anyone help me to overcome it?

It is about the use of the current date in the current value of the manage parameter.

I am binding the date with the date parameter but it want one value that is used on the first time loading of the report. I want to use current date in the current value tha first time it should run current date automatically.

Can anyone help me.

Thanks.

Hi @Umair_Aslam01 ,

Current Value in parameter management cannot be set dynamically.

If you want to filter data before loading dynamically, please refer to the following way:

Solved: Dynamic Date Parameter for Import Queries - Microsoft Fabric Community

You do this by creating a query in Power Query and referencing that query when you type SQL Statement into the connector.

Are you doing import or direct query? In any case, you wouldn't use a parameter for that. Either use the pulldown on your date column and choose one of the date filters there (e.g., is in previous 1 day), or use Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow()) to get today's date dynamically in the formula bar.

I am using direct query and binding the parameter with the date column and the parameter wants the initial (default) value. I want to you their current date.

I am trying to use if condition in advance query but not get sucess yet.

How were you able to achieve this? I tried using the measure to filter for the latest date, but it doesn't allow any filter when the date is binded to a parameter.
