Start with same base structure:
Parameters are useful when you want to add interactivity and flexibility to a report, or to experiment with what-if scenarios. Using the superstore dataset, supposing we have a certain order quantity target we want to evaluate on all states and give dynamic feedback based on how well we met that target.
