Field parameters does not work with external dataset share

Hello,

 

I have a dataset that has a field parameter to chose between measures

I shared this dataset to an external user

External user created a new report, import all the tables into the report.

But field parameter table seems like a regular table. So that it does not work in visuals to select between measures. 

 

See the icon near the field parameter column

original dataset:

Hi @ugurdemir ,

 

I created a simple report:

Based on your description, I ran the test, and the semantic model works, are you following the same steps as me?

 

1.Share the semantic model:

2. External user open the semantic model, click "Explore this data" and create a new report:

3.Create a new report, Using a field parameter to control visual properties is possible:
