Note:

Adding a parameter as a filter control functions as a column selector. Adding a parameter as a filter control doesn't filter data.
Using a parameter as a dashboard filter control doesn't provide the same features as a standard filter. For example, it doesn't provide the Top Bottom N, exclude, nulls, and limit values functionalities.
