Best filter option for numbers

I need a filter that will allow end users to enter a number that can then be used in a measure. My problem is that the range is very large so scrolling through or simply displaying all values isn't really an option. Is there a filter or setting where I can have the user simply type in the number then enter? 

  • I think if you leave to filter pane that would be better. Filter in filter pane has more options.

    Hi GunnerJ ,

     

     Good question.  Change your cursor type to one of the three circled below using the down arrow location marked with my arrow. Then you will have 1 or 2 boxes that the user can fill in.  If their input is outside the range, it will revert to the closest possibility.

     

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

     

    If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.

      Nathaniel_C  the problem is that I need the selection to be a single number and not a range of values.

        Hi GunnerJ ,

        If I understand your issue, use the less than or equal to or greater than or equal to. There is only one box to fill in. If you can perhaps post a picture of your filter.
