Text Box

Hi 

 

Is it possible to enter some value (numeric) using Textbox and then calculate the measure based on entered value. 

 

For example, If user insert value 100 then I want to calculated sales less than $100 and likewise whatever value user insert. Is it possible ?

@AnonymousI think I saw this before too, if there is such a big range and increment is by number 1, it has this kind of behaviour, may be you want to report it as a bug in support forum.

 

If you change the increment to higher number, I think it will work. Not sure thou.

Thanks for your reply !!

 

I tried following scenario wherein I want to give max value for Sales as 200000 and default value as 100000 but when I am using Max value as 200000 , OK button is looking disabled. If I put 20000 then it is showing enabled.

@Anonymous this seems like  bug, create a parameter with lower number and then change the values in the code

 

Parameter = GENERATESERIES(0, 200000, 1)

I see one strange behaviour. whenever I am inserting 100000 in the box and pressing enter button or clicking somewhere else, value is changing to 99900.  If I am putting 50000 and pressing enter button value is changing to 49950. This looks strange behaviour.
