input fields

[elizabeth_j_zeh]

What about adding input fields to the dashboard widgets. Kind of like the text field but it is enabled for user input. This input field can be used in new column and new measure fields so that once the dashboard is set up the user can easily (without filtering) explore the data by entering different values such as if you had an input box for unit price. Then if you change it all the charts of total sales, revenue, etc. Will update to reflect what would happen if you increase the price by 10%. This will enable people to quickly and easily interrogate the data

Need this badly

This is a feature that would really enable smarter forecasts, as the domain experts can make sure the assumptions like up with what experience tells them. Also, it allows for sensitivity analysis... what components really drive the bottom line.

Desperately looking for this function too!

Please merge this idea with https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/17103973-dynamic-parameters-for-what-if-analysis

Any updates? This'll be very useful for what if analysis and Top X charts.

This feature request needs to get higher in the queue. Without a textbox styled free-form slicer, the what-if type of analysis becomes hard to implement. Example: a portfolio manager would wan to see what the returns might look like (based on historical performance of course) when a certain percentage of fund(s) is applied to the portfolio. I can't use a slider or a pre-populated list of percentages to enable such type of analysis.

That would help to drive our business. Thanks in advance

Merge this idea with tabular write back

There should be variables that can be defined during refresh and the altered by users using sliders/input fields. And then various measures or other references to hardcoided variables can just reference $variableName
