Allow Data Simulation and Scenario Simulation

[andre_julius1]

Simulations for BI is a must! Users and analysts must be able to simulate different scenarios and see how data behaves with the change of a number, entry or value.

PowerBI is a powerful visualization tool, terrific I am have been using it for the last 6 month, but now I have the need of simulate using the existing reports, analysis I have created. If simulation is not possible, other tool that are less attractive and more complex to use, will be the way to go. Simulation is s must when it comes to looking at the future behavior, "If " scenarios, inflation, exchange rate, profit by product, cost per hour, etc.

With simulation capability, PowerBI will be the complete analysis package. I have to tangle between Excel and PowerBI to do a full presentation. Please add

This is a must have for analysts working in the T+ duration. Having to "lean" on a different tool for input into Power BI is useless.

Use case I am looking for is the one supplied by current Excel what-if analysis. Capture inputs, store different values by scenario, calculate results based upon the input and show the output relative to the inputs for each scenario.
