Power Bi Parameters

[dicken]

Hi,
Can anyone advise or let me know if they've had the same problem, I do not have a create button on the parameters dialog box,
is there a way round this? I have uninstalled reinstalled / repair etc. But I have never had one, I tend to use power pivot so it's not
a huge problem but there are some scenarios where it would be useful. Any suggestions on how to fix or by pass.

I’m not sure which dialog box you are referring to, but there is an option in PQ, under the view menu from memory but I could be wrong, that “always allows parameters”. Without this option turned on, some dialogs don’t allow the creation of parameters.

Hi ,
I tried checking the always allow, I did not think it would make a difference and didn't. to my knowledge there is no way
to get a parameter created in power query back into power bi, which still leaves me with the problem that I can't create a parameter
to use in a measure. I've been to options / settings and can't find anything in the documentations regarding the the absence of a create option, I have the add slicer check box but nothing else, I've tried various keyboard keys but none have worked.

Re not seeing the create box on the parameter dialog box I have found if you go to settings and change the scale layout to 100% from 125% it then appears. I did not figure this myself, it was through MS fabric help, apparently it's a problem that has been reported.
Another suggestions was to use Gernerateseries and then Selected or IF Hasnonevalue to create something that can be used as paramter.
