Hi Moeaqrl,
This is fairly easy to achieve in PowerBI desktop.
Go to Modelling -> What if -> New parameter
Change to below values, for a % change
This then creates a discount field which can be used in a slider for the data entry, and referenced in measures:
Measures:
New discount % = PercentDiscount[PercentDiscount Value]
Sum of Sales without Discount = sum('what if'[Sales]) + sum('what if'[Discount])
New Discount, $ = [Sum of Sales without Discount] * PercentDiscount[PercentDiscount Value]
New Sales Amt = [Sum of Sales without Discount]-[New Discount, $]
Difference = [New Sales Amt]-sum('what if'[Sales])
Resulting table - is dynamic when the value in the slider is changed

Hey Pi_eye
Thank you for your help,
i did what you have clearified, but it did not work.
my goal is to creat a what if senario that explanies the following :
if we could have decreased the discounts by xyz%, the sales would have been so and so .
do you know how i can achieve that ? 🙂
