    Hi RossS,

     

    To do this, open your report in Power BI Desktop and go to Transform Data -- Manage Parameters. Create two parameters -- StartDate and EndDate (or RangeStart and RangeEnd) -- with the data type set to Date or Date/Time. Apply a filter to your main data table using these parameters, so only rows within the chosen date range are loaded. For example, filter the date column by [Date] >= StartDate and [Date] <= EndDate.

    After making these changes, publish the report to Power BI Service. In your workspace settings, find your dataset and look for the Parameters section under Dataset Settings. Here, you can update StartDate and EndDate whenever you want to refresh data for a certain period. Click Refresh Now after updating the parameters to load the filtered data.

     

    Thakn you.

Hi RossS 

 

What I have seen happen in the past is if you expand the On Premise Gateway section you will find that it is trying to use an On Premise Data gateway. In order to connect and refresh the data set. You either need to configure your data source to use the On premise data gateway or configure a cloud connection which will then enable this to work.
