Flexing Calculated Column Values for Forecasting / Predictions

Hi

 

I have a [Sales] table which shows how many [Days] have been [used] to date and how many are [remaining]

I can get a [Run Rate] column by dividing Sales/Used

I can get a [Forecast] column by [RunRate] * [Remaining]

 

What I want to be able to do is allow the end user to FLEX the [RunRate] to see how different scenarios might pan out.

If this could be saved great but not essential

 

Is this possible

thank you @amitchandak I was just about to update my post as have spent the afternoon playing with What If Parameters - i was able to create and then add to the page as a Slicer which I could then create a column to multiply by this slicer (flexed) value!

Appreciate you answering my question.
