Bug with paramater with 2 decimal places - Single Value selection

[rdg515]

When creating a Parameter with two decimal places, then creating a slicer from it, if you select the option to display the slicer as a Single Value, then type in a value it will overwrite that value with an approximation.

Test Values = GENERATESERIES(CURRENCY(5.00), CURRENCY(250.00), CURRENCY(0.01))

Value Selection = SELECTEDVALUE('P0AA'[Value], 100.00)

I really would prefer to allow the user to type in the amount instead of having to use a dropdown given the large range of values.  Please fix!

I also faced with this annoying behavior and found a workaround. Just wanted to share here wishing it helps others.

After creating what-if parameter, change slicer type to "greater than" or "between" instead of "single value". And then, change default measure formula to MIN(parametercolumn) instead of SELECTEDVALUE(paramentercolumn,0).

Lastly, you can hide slider handle using format pane and hide second input box by resizing the visual.

Done: End user experience is same and we have full list of values available!

@rdg515 ,

You can use "Between" instead of "Drop down" like below:

The objective is to allow the user to select only one value from the range, not a range of values.

Disregard, I can see that this is a limitation as explained by the following post.  A notification is provided explaining that there are too many parameter values.
