What If parameter bug and alternatives

I have a few What If slicers on my page. I have also a filter button for those slicers (bookmark on selected visuals, so on paramater slicers). And entering values in the boxes works fine, when done first time. However, when I reset them with the button I created, everytime I want to enter a number again in the box it goes back to default, so 0. With sliders it works but it does not work when entering number in the box. Has anyone else encountered this issue? 

 

Also, is there an alternative way to What If sliders, so somehting where you can add numbers to do what if analysis? They are powerful if they actually work, but they are highly unstable and don't work as thay are supposed to.

    Hi Krcmajster 

    Assume you create a parameter as below:

    But you enter "1.3" in the box, it would return to 1,

    as the what-if parameter is of "whole number" data type and it accept the increment of 1.

     

    Please share me how you create the parameter and which number you enter in the box.

     

    Best Regards

      v-juanli-msft  Paramter was created as you did it but I needed to ajdust the measure for the problem what-if has, adding wrong values from what is entered

       

      so this is the measure

       

       
      par2 = Union(GENERATESERIES(0, 1000, 2),

GENERATESERIES(1, 1000, 2),

GENERATESERIES(1001, 2000, 2),

GENERATESERIES(1002, 2000, 2))
