I have created a semantic model referencing a data warehouse in fabric. I have an org hierarchy containing department and team. I would like to be able to switch the legend between department and team. Normally I would do this by creating a parameter in desktop, but I do not have that option with the direct lake connection. It seems like I should be able to create the parameter table manually by editing the model from desktop (preview feature) but I am having a lot of trouble. Has anyone accomplished this, or is it just not possible?

Follow these steps to manually create the parameter table by editing the model from Power BI Desktop:
