Generate Series input value
You have fallen victim to the sampling monster.
Nothing you can do about it - except for using (much) smaller ranges or larger interval steps.
You still see the "I" warning even with 1000 at step 1
Change the step to 5
It's not a bug, it's a feature. Seriously - there is no way the visual can cram 1000 data points onto your screen. Not enough pixels.
Thanks for all the explanation
But how would be to create a INPUT VALUE and give the user these options an posibility ?
Hi Anonymous ,
I found a similar thread which may explain the strange senario:
The reason why some of the numbers don't appear and revert back to another number when entered is due to PBI sampling the data, the range that you are using is to big.
When you set a large range using GENERATESERIES,and when you select the number which is ranking over 1000*increment ,it will be sampled.As you tested before,the workaround to solve it is to choose a bigger increment,for example,in your senario,you set a series from 1 to 10000 with an increment 1,and you select 1000,which is ranking 1000,that's why you get a result of 999,which is a sampled result.
See:
When you change the increment to any value bigger than 1(should be an integer,decimal situation would be more complex),which will ensure that the selected value is below the ranking of 1000,and you will get the expected result:
