Need help displaying parameters to End Users
Greetings People !
I'm in bit of a gamble here and need all the help I can get. For starters, let me state my requirement.
I need the End user/Business to specify parameters before loading the report on the report page itself, like SSRS. And no, filters /slicers won't work as data is too large as well as the no of reports. And end user need not go inside datasets and specify parameters from there.
Is there some way to do this on Power bi service or Power bi web part on SharePoint ?
I trust somebody out here would help me out. Forgive me if I sound too direct, but i have been struggling for days. Please help
Thanks in advance

- Hi there
If you use the shared dataset option, this will still work and only use the one shared dataset?

Hi there
What I have done is to create a landing page when the user accesses the report.
In this page the user then selects all the Parameters(Filters or Slicers) that they need. You can configure the filters to go across all the pages.
Then when the user goes to the report pages they will already have the parameters(Filters) applied.- Hi, thanks for your reply. Although this is a great idea, but still I would need to load the complete data and then filter. And given that I have around 50+ reports, the size and loading time would be too much.
