Dynamic M Query Parameter

Hello ,

I'm trying to use the new Dynamic M Query Parameter  available in the preview features. 

I've created an M Query parameter and referenced it in a (direct query) query  using     b.code = '"&P_BRANCH&"'

I've created another query (import) with a column containing the same values as the M Query parameter, in order to filter on.

 

However as soon as I set the 'Bind to Parameter' option for the import query then the visual for the direct query returns the following error, do you know what I'm doing wrong ? - 

 

(Here is the pbix) 

 

DirectQuery error: DirectQuery may not be used with this data source - please consider moving to a supported data source or upgrading the SQL Server data source to the latest available version.

@richard_wylde did you checked your data source is part of the list of supported data sources and checked the limitations here.

Hi @parry2k , it's a postgres database , the parameter type is text,  no filter applied yet, and the parameter operation is equals - so no mention of any of these not being supported
