An amateur, of course 😂

[vijayarjunwadkar]

Thank you Chandoo, It's really most useful and novel feature, but need to think and practice to put it for use. Of course your explanation and examples are spot on, as usual and will help us build upon it easily! 😊👍

This is amazing! In the past we had to do this by duplicating data in power query.

Great session. The sound used for clicking the Field Parameters option in Preview feature at 1.53 is hilarious😄. Jokes apart, session is awesome. Thank you!

Hello,
Thankyou for an eye opening Video...!
Can u please make out one on how to create parameters as per Tableau in Power bi.

[blahblahblah]

Hi, do i use field parameters that include agrregated measures in calculations such as ytd and mtd

[guilouback]

In this demo, can we combine the first case and the second one? Using the Measures Parameters for values and Column Parameter for axis?
Thanks!

[SallyWanjiru-zo]

I have been trying to use the parameters but they do not affect any visual I make how do I make it responsive

[rahulbaradkar]

So, now we can use slicers/selectors, not just for filtering the visuals, we can also use them in the column headers (grouping/categories), in the row headers, and in the values sections of pivot-like visuals, and use all of this dynamically.
Of course that is super useful to reduce the number of visuals we need to put on one page, provided we don’t want to see them at the same time. Somehow, in hindsight, this evolution seems a logical step and predictable. I wish I had predicted it myself. :-)
