Hi,

It seems you cannot use parameters when filtering in the Data Source.

Why do not use a Data View Web Part where you would be able to filter data received from your data source by parameters, for example by one that received from a filter web part?

Hi,

As Peter said, you cannot use parameter to filter a data source in SPD. You should insert a data view and set the data source to the list, after this you can filter the list by parameters. You can create data view parameter from (in the data view>click “common data view tasks”>”Parameters”).

Hope it can help you.
