  • Hey Jacob_Tam ,

     

    this is not possible, as Power BI does not support user input. You may consider adapting what-if parameters to your needs: Use what-if parameters to visualize variables - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

    Another approach could be creating a Power App, but due to the interactive nature of your requirement, this then will require a data source (the data sink where the input will be stored) that supports direct query. These data sources are Premium data sources like SQL Server from a Power Apps perspective and require additional licensing.

     

    Hopefully, this provides some ideas on how to tackle your challenge.

     

    Regards,

    Tom

      Hi Tom,

       

      Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I was trying to use what if parameter but I still could not create such configuration on an existing graph. Kindly need advice on the specific steps. Thanks.
