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
There is a lot of duplication of Posts for this - I really hope we do see this idea in the future, in the meantime this Idea (20367082) should be seen as the main one spearheading this!

RE: Passing Parameters to Power BI through Stored Procedure
This is desperately needed so as to create robust and efficient on-premise deployable .NET solutions. We have created a web based Analytics solution embedding SSRS Reports using the Report Viewer control. Using the ASP.Net Application front end to collect parameters, these are passed to SSRS Report via the Report Viewer Control to populate the SSRS Template, with the parameters then passed to the SQL Query behind the SSRS Report.
With Power BI being able to be launched in an iframe in our ASP.Net app, we really need a means to pass parameters to the Power BI Model which can be used in the query behind (primarily Direct Query) so that the SQL Query will return only the results based on the parameters. The current option of passing Filter Options to the already populated Power BI is not sufficient in terms of both performance and user based security.
RE: Passing Parameters to Power BI through Stored Procedure
This needs to work in Direct Query Mode. It should identify slicers and via direct query mode populate the slicers first similar to SSRS does. Then allow user to the slicers and then click on an view report button to execute the stored procedure with the selected slicers (parameters).
RE: Passing Parameters to Power BI through Stored Procedure
please update when this can be expected.
RE: Passing Parameters to Power BI through Stored Procedure
Hopefully this will be implemented soon.

Nice idea
RE: Passing Parameters to Power BI through Stored Procedure
With the increasing amount of data in many databases, there is increasing demand with my customers to filter the data dynamically and perform other intelligence using stored procedures.

Qlikview can do it ;)
