Field Parameters or Personalize Visuals – Choosing the Right Aircraft for Your Self-Service Journey
summary
Field Parameters in Power BI (preview) create a built table of name/value/order that the report author customizes (the talk shows an increment-by-10 ordering trick) to offer preplanned choices for measures and dimensions, support physical relationships to swap origin/destination, and require explicit DAX measures (no AI visuals). Personalize Visuals let end users change chart type, legend and fields, save personal bookmarks (not shareable; browser limit ~20) and are constrained by a page-level perspectives setting that restricts available fields. Choose parameters for guided, complex models and personalize visuals for skilled, exploratory users.
