String as input in whatif parameters
Hi anil
What if parameter is not suitable for imputing string to the table.
It only supports to input data of type number
In your scenario, create a new table containing Account Name, Add the column of this new table into a slicer so that you can select which Account Name to display. the same for Project ID and Creation date.

Thanks for the reply Maggie,
But we cannot create a table as the input should be dynamic by the user. Another way to do it is using powerapps, but with powerapps we need to write back to database and show the input data in the power bi table.
Looking for an alternate solution within power bi to input text.

Hi anil
Based on researching, there is no such function to input string to power bi.
You may submit an idea here.
