Manual Value Adder with drop down

Hi All, 

 

More of a question than help with anything. 


Is it possible with Power BI to add a drop down from a data set that allows you to manually add a value to a total. 

 

EG:

Total = 100

Pick from the drop down 10, it adds 10 to the total.

Hi @m1ke909 

 

You can manually add the value to source data in power query , but if the total is aggregate value, it's not accessible currently.

you could do something like this with DAX and What If parameters

mixed with ISFILTERED or HASONEVALUE to cater only for the Total (you have to set it up per specific dimension though)

Even though it's doable, I think it's not a good practice - it's will be difficult to make sure you show correct number in all the scenarios/data cuts
