Dynamic or Dependent What-If parameter or Numeric Range

Hi,

 

I have a What-If Parameter, lets call it Machines.
Machines = GENERATESERIES(0, 20, 1)

I need a another parameter, or a range of values that can be used in a slicer based on the selected value of this parameter for the upper limit. Something like

Parameter = GENERATESERIES(0, [Machine Value], 1)
Does anyone know who to accomplish this?

I am not sure if I have azure data explorer?
However, I actually ended up using a different work around. I used this concept. Power BI - Filter by a Measure in a Slicer . Instead of using a second what if parameter, I mader a measure that is the same GenerateSeries, and put that into a slicer. Then put a visual filter on that slicer.


I think this is what @parry2k  was trying to suggest.

@Gacohen unfortunately that is not possible, you cannot have 2nd parameter based on machine parameters. you can (i believe) you can use a visual level filter to filter your 2nd parameter.

Hi @Gacohen 

@parry2k is correct, however what you could do is create a live connection to a static numbers table stored in azure data explorer and pass in the parameter value to the query using dynamic parameters for power bi direct query.

Definitely a lot more effort but a way to do it.

The docs are below

Dynamic M query paramters for direct query 

 

Thanks,



I hope this helps,
Richard
