Field Parameters Convert to Regular Tables When Live Connecting to a Semantic Model

[kewaynes]

When I live connect to a semantic model in the Power BI service, my field parameter tables show up. However, they are converted to regular tables and seem to lose their field parameter feature.

i.e. - When placed as the x-axis on in a chart, it no longer works as a field parameter.

Please see below forum post for reference:

Hi @kewaynes ,

You can't create parameters in live connection data sources without a local model. However, if you use DirectQuery for Power BI semantic models and Analysis Services, you can add a local model to create field parameters. For more information about using DirectQuery for live connections, see Composite models on Power BI semantic models and Analysis Services.
