What if parameter value keeps changing single value

sc1.JPGHI Everyone,

I have created a what-if parameter in my report that takes in a single value (Slicer). 

When i open the paramter. It has the below code. (the checked marker)

length = GENERATESERIES(1, 500000)

 
My requirement is to be able to enter an whole number (selected) with an exact length (any number between 1 and 500,000). 
 
The next DAX measure is 
Parameter Value = SELECTEDVALUE('length'[Parameter], 100)
Now, when i enter the value as 300,000; the system changes it to 300,200? Why is it adding 200 i dont understand. 
 
Can you please help me. 
Thanks.

@sfaizee , Are you entering the value manually or using slicer. Sometimes with slicer excat value might get selected .

 

I used what with excat values.

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Hi, 

I am entering the data manually. 

The slicer has a scroll bar as well that i have kept open. 

Even turning it off didnt help.

This the value that i enter manually in the field. 

 

Entered Manual valueSlicer changed it to this value.Difference
                              100,00099901                 99
                              150,000149851              149
                              200,000199801              199
                              250,000249751              249
                              300,000300200            (200)
                              350,000350150            (150)
                              400,000400100

            (100)

 

 

Slicer values changes. 

See the difference for you to understand. 

 

Just to clarify the point a bit more. 

I used a whatif parameter with Data type as whole number

and DONT SUMMARIZE.

This created a parameter:

length = GENERATESERIES(1, 500000)

and a measure

Parameter Value = SELECTEDVALUE('length'[Parameter], 100)
 
Now when i enter the value in the slicer manually. 
The values change

Such changes effect the further measures that i have in my report. I am calculating the rates based on length and time. 
Similarly 3 more what if's in this report. 
Setup Time = GENERATESERIES(1, 20000, 1)
Measure 
Setup Time Value = SELECTEDVALUE('Setup Time'[Setup Time])
Here are the results of manual entry.

Thanks for your help.

Sahim.
