Does exists a way to manually enter a goal in power bi? where the audience can introduce the value. I am not a frequent user of Dax but I will apreciate some guide if this can be achieve or it need to be done under very specific Power bi feature.
I am looking to do under power bi desktop.
The external measure goal introduce may vary depending the type of goal cuz could be in percentage or integer number format.
thanks in advance

Hi @perezco ,
You can use What-IF parameter for that, check this link:

Thanks @camargos88 ,
I did for one Measure using the What-IF parameter in a Calculate Measure.
But I am not sure this can be done for several Measures (KPI alias Measure).
Is What-IF parameter the only function tthat Power BI ?
This is what I am trying...
This what I have for one measure. ( I have also measure that are precentage value).
I am aware I cannot create a dynamic calculated column based on what-if parameter.

Hi @perezco ,
What are you trying to do ? I've used what-if as dynamic parameter, it works very well.
Give us more detail about your requirements.

Allow the audience Introduce goals for different KPI.
So IF I have 5 kpi it will means 5 different goals.
not sure this will work
Does you audience accept the solution of three what ifs for distinct goals?
Did you include dynamic kpi in those three distinct goals for "what if" function?
@perezco ,
Yes, the inputs were about target sales for product groups. Each product group had a target sales and they could simulate the sales and income salary based on range of values.
Ricardo
I mean.. Is possible include dynamic kpi inside of each individually to each distinct goals for "what if" function?
@perezco ,
It's possible to compose the kpi, the user will input the scenario and the measure gets the value and returnes the result.
