Using percentage slider to show the changes in a column

Hi,

 

Lets say i have the following information:

 

 RevenueCostNet Profit
Jan-201000005000050000
Feb-202000000500001950000
Mar-202000000500001950000
Apr-202000000500001950000
May-202000000500001950000
Jun-202000000500001950000
Jul-202000000500001950000
Aug-202000000500001950000
Sep-202000000500001950000

May-21400000010000003000000
Jun-21400000010000003000000
Jul-21400000010000003000000
Aug-21400000010000003000000
Sep-21400000010000003000000
Oct-21400000010000003000000
Nov-21400000010000003000000
Dec-21400000010000003000000

 

Now i want to have a slider where i can change the forecast revenue as a percentage, so i can show the impact on the net profit as a line chart?

 

For example, I want to see the net profit if i increase the revenue 5% or decrease 5%?

 

Is there something i can find on power bi?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You need to create a what if parameter.

 

Go to the modeling -> New parameter

 

Choose options:

Minimum: -1

Maximium: 1

Increment: 0.05 (to have 5% increase)

 

Then make the following measure:

Net_Value_Forecast = SUM('Table'[Net Profit]) *( 1+'Increase percentage'[Increase percentage Value])

 

check PBIX file attach.

Hi, thank you very much for your answer and especially for the file.

 

I think i am half way there. However, in this case the measure is changing according to the percertage but the net profit is remaining costent. I want all the rows to be updated along with the percentage. 

 

For example: How much increase by 5% will affect the measure along with net profit?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

The  measure is the value you should use has you new net profit. If you look at the table I have place the second value gives you net profit + the 5% On March you have 1.950.000 * 105% = 2.047.500

 

Or do you just want the increase value?

 

In that case calculate  without the 1+ part of the measure

Refer:https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/applying-a-measure-filter-in-power-bi/

 

Other way is to use whatif parameters

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-what-if

Assume percent measure is measure 1 and what slicer has a name slicer1

Filter % =

var _max = maxx(slicer1 ,slicer1[slicer1])

var _min = minx(slicer1 ,slicer1[slicer1])

 

Return

calculate(count(table[A]),filter(Table,[Measure] >=_min && [Measure]<=_max),values(table[ID])
