Parameters in Service
I have created a parameter in Power Query, applied it to tables, published to the service and confirmed the parameters in the dataset settings. How does a user, accessing a report, modify the parameter from the default value? The parameter is a month end date and was placed as a filter on each table. So I basically am wanting a person to select a month end in the parameter and have it apply across the board. But do not know how a user enters a parameter value in the service. Thanks in advance!
So yes, it is imported data. So you are saying there is no way to create parameters that a user can enter in the service? Basically have to use a filter?

If you are using an Import option for your data source then you cannot modify values of the parameters in the service at run time.
If you are using a Direct Query, you can leverage the Dynamic M query parameters in Power BI Desktop option to allow the user to change the values.So yes, it is imported data.

Well that kind of sucks. Hopefully they will fix that. Or at least I assume this is something people would like.
