Parameter Table

he Parameter Table pattern is useful when you want to add a slicer to a PivotTable and make it modify the result of some calculation, injecting parameters into DAX expressions. To use it, you must define a table that has no relationships with any other table. Its only scope is to offer a list of possible choices to the end user in order to alter the calculations performed by one or more existing measures. The DAX expression in measures checks the value selected and calculates the result accordingly. In most cases, users can select only one value, and multiple selections cannot perform a meaningful calculation. For example, the Parameter Table can choose the number of customers to show in a PivotTable sorted by sales amount, similar to a dynamic "top N customers" calculation, where a slicer selects the Nth value.
