User Entered Value Across All Pages

[NJ81858]

Hello,

I have a report that is contingent on users entering in a value for all of my calculations. What is the best way to achieve this? It has to span multiple pages and I would prefer the user to only enter this once, as this value cannot be visible in the final report. 

I have tried to create a What-If Parameter and added slicers to all pages and sync the slicer up across pages, but that has not worked for me. Thank you in advance!

Hi @NJ81858 ,
What if Parameter is way that you can achive this.
You can refer to these link :-

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-what-if

You can sync the what if parameter for every page . In Power BI Desktop you can synchronize slicers across multiple report pages. To synchronize slicers, in the View pane in the ribbon, select Sync slicers. When you synchronize slicers, the Sync Slicers pane appears, as shown in the following image.

@pratyashasamal When I create my What-If Parameter, I also create a measure to combine all of them, as my final value will always be bigger than 100,000, and doing this in intervals of 1 causes problems for my data.

I created 7 different What-If Parameters all with ranges from 0 to 9, so I am covered in any value from 0 to 9,999,999, and then my measure to combine them is:

Final Value = FORMAT((SELECTEDVALUE('Million'[Million])*1000000) +
(SELECTEDVALUE('Hundred Thousands'[Hundred Thousands])*100000) +
(SELECTEDVALUE('Ten Thousands'[Ten Thousands])*10000) +(SELECTEDVALUE('Thousands'[Thousands])*1000) +
(SELECTEDVALUE('Hundreds'[Hundreds])*100) + 
(SELECTEDVALUE('Tens'[Tens])*10) + 
(SELECTEDVALUE('Ones'[Ones])), "Currency")

This measure is being invoked on Calculated Columns, and even when I copy my slicers to the report pages, it gives me the following error even though the measure works on the given page:

Hi @NJ81858 ,
Try to check if all the what if Parameter are having the correct data type i.e. Numeric data type.
Looks like issue is due to this.

@pratyashasamal  The value is currently a number, but it still gives me that error that it is text:

Hi @NJ81858 ,
This issue probably because you have empty strings there, you can check for the blanks or empty strings first .
You can use ISBLANK() for this.

@pratyashasamal After doing more research, I am unable to use What-If parameters for my solution, as Calculated Columns don't support the use of What-If parameters.
