| Dec-20 | 3000000 | 50000 | 2950000 |

| Jun-21 | 4000000 | 1000000 | 3000000 |
| Jul-21 | 4000000 | 1000000 | 3000000 |

| Dec-21 | 4000000 | 1000000 | 3000000 |
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.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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.

Check out my blog: Power BI em PortuguêsHi, 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

Check out my blog: Power BI em Portuguêsthank you! Got the result 😄
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])
