Parameter Slicer shows incorrect value

Hello everybody!

 

Im haveing a problem with a parameterbased slicer.

 

The parameter looks like this: Parameter = 

GENERATESERIES (0; 10000; 5)
 
When i write for exapel 2575 in the slicer it will autocorrect to 2578 or 2573.
Anyone have a clue how to solve this?
 
kind regards//
Jesper
  • Hi Zynka 

     I can reproduce your problem, as searched, it is said "it's because of the range being too big and the numbers are being sampled" accoding to the following link.

    What if parameter help - input changes by itself after hitting enter

     

    As a workround, you could click on the "down" arrow on the top-right of slicer and select "between" or "list" as below

    or you could change the "increment" from 1 to 5 as my first picture.

     

    Best Regards

    maybe its because of the minimal autogenerated value is 3, not 0 or 1?

      Thanks for your answer, dont know if I understand correctly but I can still get the value 0 or 10 000 both by typing or move the controller. It appers like it somewhere above 1 500 begins to count 3, 8, 13, 18 etc.

    Hi Zynka 

    As tested with last version 2.66.5376.1681 64-bit (February 2019), it works correctly on my side.

     

    Could you show an screenshot or an simple pbix how you create and use the parameter?

     

    Best Regards

      Hi!

       

      Ofcourse, Im having the same problem with several slicers

       

       

      The value I try to put in is 2575 but its autocorrecting to 2577, as you can see this is a new project so it dosnt depend on my actuall report, maybe som settings I dont know off?

       

      Thankfull for your time//
