    This is a continuation of "Allow runtime parameters in Power View and/or Power Query". Request this capability in Power BI Online so users can go to a dashboard and easily be able to search for a list of values. Currently the user would need to use a slicer and individual select each value. An example would be if I had list of part numbers to search in the dashboard. Currently I would need to scroll up and down in a slicer and individually select each one. In SSRS I can create a parameter dropdown and easily type in and even copy and paste values in to search for.

    We need this feature. This will help us to enable many tasks to pull data directly from DB.

    We absolutely need a way for the parameter to be changed by the end user and then have the data pull again. Even if the data is being pulled from the database directly.

    RE: Power BI Online Query Parameters

    its important to have this features to improve RLS features. By exemple, if i embed a pbi visualization inside an external webapp, and i need that pbi visualization shows data based on a specifici item (e.g. BuildingID).

    Enabling the user to modify stored procedure parameters is fundamental - has been around in reporting tools for 30+ years. Power BI is not ready for prime time without this capability.

    RE: Power BI Online Query Parameters

    Being able to pass parameter in an URL directly to a DirectQuery to filter teh data at the source is so important.

    we are currently using this:

    https://reportserver/reports/powerbi/Store Sales?rs:Embed=true&filter= Store/Territory eq 'NC' and Store/Chain eq 'Fashions Direct'

    But in this case, all data is brought to the report and then report is filtered.

    we need the data to be filtered at the source
