aucklanduser if you can provide some sample data and business rule around what to exclude/include , it wil help to provide the solution. Even What-If parameter can be use in this scenario if % are not fixed for include/exclude.
Hey Parry,
Havent developed the dataset yet as I will just leave it if its not possible but it will look like;
Date Job# Assy# ActualHours StandardHours VarToStd Var% Include/Exclude?
For each jobs assembly, we are assessing the variance to our current standard (e.g the build operation for widget A normally takes 1 hour but for job 1 it took 3 hours). He currently pulls anything less than 50% of the current standard or over 200% of the current standard (100% positive / minus) and then looks at the reasons for the variances and will either include or exclude these in the calculation of the new standard. The user needs the ability to flag particular rows as either include or exclude in the new average hours (standard) calculation for each assembly.
How would a what if parameter be used? Many thanks for your help
aucklanduser,
Please share sample data of your table and post expected result based on sample data following the guide in the blog below.

Regards,
LydiaThansk Lydia, the data will be laid out like the table below, however the Include/Exclude table needs to be manually adjusted. The check is calculated on whether or not Var% is less than 50% or greater than 200%. We sometimes want to include and sometimes exclude these variances as they may just be system errors which we do not want to include. Based on the input from the include or exclude, the NewStd column will pull either the ActualHours (if yes) or StandardHours (if no). We will then average the NewStd column by job to get our new standard hours.
Main question being, is it possible in powerbi to have a parameter or other form of user input that can set a variable for a row?
Thanks
