Power BI Practice: Centralizing Excel Data Source References in Power BI Using Parameters
Scenario:
You create a parameter named DataSourceExcel that holds the file name and location of a Microsoft Excel data source. You need to update the query to reference the parameter instead of multiple hard-coded copies of the location within each query definition.
Solution: You create a new query that references DataSourceExcel. Does this meet the goal?
Answer: Yes, creating a new query that references the DataSourceExcel parameter does meet the goal. By doing this, you centralize the file name and location information, making it easier to update and manage. This approach ensures that any changes to the file location or name only need to be made in one place, the parameter, rather than updating multiple hard-coded instances within each query definition.
