(not sure if my earlier response went through so posting again)

 

To get around this behavior what I do is change the slicer box the input value is in to a dropdown or list. This way every possible value is shown and when you click one of them it comes through exactly.

 

For a larger range, I do this but also put the input value in the filter pane. From the filter pane you can choose an exact value or a range of values for the input value. That way you can limit it to a range of values then bounce around a bit within that range using the dropdown or list.

 

For example, if you have an input range of 1 to 10,000, you can go to the filter pane and limit the range to 1 to 20. Then the dropdown or list will only show those 20 values to choose from.
