Variable field for calculation in Power Bi for user input

Hi Experts,

 

is there a possibility to create a filed, where the users input a number and then there is a calculation with this number? Like Excel, but in Power BI? Excel is for this reason not working, because there are a few more parameters for the calculation, which have to be currently... 
A slicer is not the best way because the numberrange is too high.

 

Thanks a lot for your help😐

HI @Do5779,

Current power bi did not include these types of features, perhaps you can create a 'what if' parameter table then you can input values on the slicer instead.
BTW, the above suggestion did not suitable for a large range of numbers, you can also submit an idea for this requirement.

@All: Thanks!

The what if parameter is an option 👍, that's true, unfortunately he doesn't support a large range of 100000 digits....
In the forum the suggestion was already mentioned but will come later 😐
