Let End-User change parameter Value every Refresh of Power BI Service

[Anonymous]

I followed this topic to apply filter on data by Stored Procedure using Parameter before data import from database

https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/execute-sql-server-stored-procedure-with-user-parameter-in-pow...

My procedure  doing filter data on temp table , then showing temp table to end-user.

CREATE PROCEDURE GET_MO @P_CIC nvarchar(30) = NULL, @AddressLine1 nvarchar(60) = NULL

AS

Truncate table Pol

insert into pol

SELECT *

FROM Policies

WHERE Policies.PolicyFlag = @P_CIC

and user can check data Report successfully from Power BI Service 

But Parameter value are fixed !!  😞 

• How can I let end-user change Parameter value !?

If you are using parameter in powerBi and wnt to change parameter value through backend of your code then you can use this script of powershell

Script:

param(
[string] $parameter="Any_Value-you-want-to-pass-in-store-procedure",
[string] $datasetId= "DatasetId-Of-report-for-which-you-want-to-update-parameter-value"

)
$password = ConvertTo-SecureString "your-powerBi-EmailId-password" -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("your-login-EmailId-of-PowerBi", $password)

Connect-PowerBIServiceAccount -Credential $Cred

$urlUpdateParams = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets/$($datasetId)/Default.UpdateParameters"

$newBody= @{
updateDetails=@(
@{
name="Name-Parameter-You-Have-Given-In-Report(Not talking about parameter value)"
newValue="$($parameter)"
}

)

}

$jsonBody= $newBody |ConvertTo-Json

$content = 'application/json'

write-host $urlUpdateParams

Invoke-PowerBIRestMethod -Url $urlUpdateParams -Method POST -Body $jsonBody -ContentType $content

you just have to run this script in ur backend, if somehow you are using .net core than this code will just just fine for you

Backend Code:

var file = @"[Enter full path in which you have saved your powershell script file in your PC]";

InitialSessionState initialSessionState = InitialSessionState.CreateDefault();
initialSessionState.ExecutionPolicy = ExecutionPolicy.Unrestricted;

using Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(initialSessionState);
runspace.Open();
PowerShell ps = PowerShell.Create(runspace);

ps.AddScript(System.IO.File.ReadAllText(file)).AddParameter("parameter",paramValue).AddParameter("datasetId",datasetId).Invoke();

runspace.Close();
