When I am working on, building and/or designing my Microsoft Power BI reports, I go back and forth between my desktop PC and my notebook. If my data source is a local file, like an Excel file, it can be tricky. Tricky, that is, if you do not use parameters for the file path. I use this feature now, EVERY time I work with local data. Saves me oodles of time and frustration! Check it out!
In this tiny tip, I show you more Data Modeling I performed on my US College (American) Football South Eastern Conference (SEC) Microsoft Power BI Report. I show how I incorporate parameters with my data and I create a custom title for my report.
I have shown you already how to create parameters with SQL Server data in Microsoft Power BI. This time, I am going to show how to use a suggested list, so rather than manually entering data, I can select my parameter from a dropdown list. By the way, if you are a US College (American) football fan, you will be excited about the report that is being built!
If you want to model data against a development SQL Server environment and deploy against a production SQL Server, in Microsoft Power BI, this video is for you. In this Tiny tip, I will show you how to create a Parameter, edit your data source, export, and import your work.
