Parameters issue in Power Bi Report Builder

For Paginated reports, I am building a report in Power Bi Report Builder. When I added the Parameters and designed the output, I could see that the Parameters are not interactive. I want my Parameter to be interactive in a way that if i select an option in 1st Parameter, automatically the second parameter should show only the relatable records to 1st Parameter.

For example, 

 

S.NoFirst Namelast Name
1JohnWick
2willsmith
3Johndavid
4Alanfinch
5Syedmuhammad
6Georgedavid

 

In this, if my 1st Parameter in First Name and If I select John in First name Parameter, the second name parameter should show only Wick and David. If no records are matching, it should not show any options. 

 

But when I give john, all the options in last name comes out. 

 

How to make it interactive.

Hi @jayasurya_prud ,

 

Because parameters are managed independently on the server, republishing a main report with new parameter settings doesn't overwrite the existing parameters settings on the report.
