What if parameter - wrong percentage

I have set up my what if parameters and now have fields where users may add the percentage which they require.  However, when I add, for example, 0.14865  , the Power BI field defaults back to 0.1489...

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    To my understanding the maximum number of decimal points you can increment in a parameter is 4. 

    I think your rounding error is due to the formatting of the value within your parameter.

    Try selecting the paramater value and changing the number of decimal places from auto to 4.

     

    Hope this helps

     

    Thanks,

    George

I have got the same problem but then with whole numbers.
For example, I'm typing 104 and it gives 105, when typing 103 I'm getting 102.

 

What is going wrong ?

 

TEST1 = GENERATESERIES(0; 3000; 1)
TEST Value = SELECTEDVALUE('TEST'[TEST1])


This does work: (but I want to ad values varying from 1 tot 4 diggits number)

TEST1 = GENERATESERIES(0; 999; 1)
TEST Value = SELECTEDVALUE('TEST'[TEST1])
