Solution SageIs there an easy way for user input?
Native slicers do not support this functionality. However, some custom visuals allow writeback, enabling users to input numbers freely, though they can be costly due to the underlying architecture. Additionally, using a slider may not be ideal, as it can become buggy with a large number of values to choose from. Instead, I would add an extra column to the numeric parameter table that converts the Value column to text, allowing the slicer’s search option to be used.
Super UserHi rpinxt
No matter which slicer type you use, the number entered must exist in the column used for the slicer. You can't input an arbitrary number. To accommodate this, you can create a numeric range parameter table that covers the possible input values.
Solution SageWell that thus means there is no way a user can "store" a number that can be used in a calculation.
So the answer for me would be this is not possible.

Ok thanks. Might be an option if I also can key in the value en it just finds it in the table.
Let me try that out. Think it will be the only solution.
Thanks.
