There Should be Provision of passing the Parameter to the report like we do in SSRS Reports. There should be any method to execute Stored Procedure by passing the Parameters

RE: Passing Parameters to Power BI through Stored Procedure

This is badly needed for handling reports with large volumes of data. I've had to decrease report efficiency just to use Power BI.

Cant believe by now it still not possible to use slicers and pass the value to parameter.

RE: Passing Parameters to Power BI through Stored Procedure

It would be great to know if this is in the pipeline or something being considered as it is the one thing holding back the use of PowerBI as a proper enterprise reporting solution in the same manner that SSRS is.
The functionality is all there to embed PowerBI Models into an ASP.NET application through the use of URL strings, similar to using the SSRS ReportViewer Control, but unlike the SSRS Report Viewer Control, you can't pass parameters to the behind SQL query for PowerBI which enables query driven row level security routines, whether stored procedure or not. Using parameter collections to pass to the PowerBI query would greatly improve efficiency and performance as on the data required by the user is returned.
Ideally I would like to use all PowerBI Models in Direct Query mode where the ASP.Net application user is identified and only data for that user is returned, even a single parameter would help where the User Credential is passed to the SQL Query.

This is absolutely essential, I am not sure why this has not been done till now

RE: Passing Parameters to Power BI through Stored Procedure

This would be handy to have. Currently I need to create view via Table Valued UDF and query the view.

RE: Passing Parameters to Power BI through Stored Procedure

I want to pass parametres to a query in Poweb BI. For example

SELECT Anno, Dimensione, SUM(Importo) Importo
FROM HCI_POWERBI_PrenotazioniPerDimensioni(@Parametr1,@Parameter2)
GROUP BY Anno, Dimensione
