Numeric Range Parameter Issue

Whenever I create a New Paramater - Numeric Range (Whole Number) with:
Minimum Value: 0
Maximum Value: 1,000,000
Increment: 1
Default: 0
Slicer Type: Single Value

 

I get an error while inserting a number in the single value input field. For example if I enter:

1000 and hit enter, output is 999

2000 and hit enter, output is 1998 .. 

 

Any fix to this issue?

 

Thanks

this is due to sampling of the what-if parameters (more than 1000 values):

You can try creating the table in M, that should work fine:

let
    Source = {1..1000000},
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", "Parameter"}}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns",{{"Parameter", Int64.Type}})
in
    #"Changed Type"
