(Livestream Replay) Level Up your Power BI Game with Field Parameters! - with Nikola Ilic

DESCRIPTION 📄

Game changer! How many times you’ve heard this when a new feature hit the Power BI ecosystem? But, not all of these features lived up to these high expectations. Field parameters don’t belong to that group, as they truly changed the way we’re building our Power BI solutions.

In this demo-packed session, you’ll learn what are Field parameters, in which scenarios they’ll become your “best friend”, and how to solve some of the most common challenges related to Field parameters implementation (who said, the selected value of the field parameter and conditional formatting).
