What-if parameter changes entry

I know there is an outstanding bug (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Strange-behaviour-What-if-parameter/td-p/530439) where the what-if parameter input box changes entries. This is unacceptable and something that Tableau has no problem with.

 

Are there any workarounds that might be possible? I need to enter a value in the billions (i.e., revenue) and can't afford inaccuracies.

are there any suitable workarounds? Can a separate table created with all values from 1 - 1000000 which the slicer can read from and be used within formulas?
