Questions Pass Dashboard Parameter through to GI formula?

Hey Guys,

As per the title, can you Pass Dashboard Parameters through to a GI formula, is that possible?  I am assuming not but thats why I am here 🙂  Someone can correct me or point me in the right direction.  I am probably overthinking something stupidly easy.

I will explain what I am trying to do:

I have created a GI which lists our Top 25 products sold.  In a column besides the Inventory ID's I have the total quantity purchased by a single customer selected via a parameter.  What we are trying to see is what amount, if any, does this customer purchase of our Top 25 Items.

Now I have this working in the GI.  The parameter is only used as a source for the formula in this extra column.  Not as a filter.  Works perfectly.  However when trying to push this GI to a dashboard it all falls apart due to the fact that I am addressing the GI parameter and not the dashboard parameter.

Does that make sense?  Can anyone help and or point me in another direction to obtain the result I need?

Thanks

Steve
