Anyway to allow end users to enter a value for a calculation?

I have a calculation that relies on a value that changes monthly. It's something thats managed by hand so I'm hoping there's a way to allow end users to type in the value to get the answer they want. Any solutions or ideas?

 

Thanks

Query parameters are probably what you are looking for. This post gives a really clear explanation of what they are and how they work, complete with lots of examples.

If it is number. Create a what-if parameter. It is under the modeling tab.

You can create a slicer on that and change value.
