Drop Down Menu as a Column

Hey Everybody,


I am trying to build out an Account Segmentation Model in Power BI, but I am running into an issue.  I want to give my users the ability to accept/deny my individual recommendations by having a drop down menu as a column.  This is very easy to do in Excel, but I was hoping this was possible in Power BI since you can do so much more in it.  I have play around with parameters, but it will change the value for every row instead of individual menus.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @p_kelly,

Power BI is a data analisys software that allows to have insights and treat data in a very fast way, as a data analisys tools does not allow to make changes to the information you have, you may add custom columns and measures but only in a analysis perspective not as an input so what you are looking for is not possiblr on PBI as in any other BI tool.

Thank you MFelix!  That's what I figured the answer would be.  I use Tableau for almost everything, so I figured I'd test this out in the rare case it was possible.
