input fields

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

This is a huge value-add to a BI platform. Is this not released yet?

Please seek a way to add this function since it proves to be handy in what if analysis. Instead of having to choose from a range of choice, users can freely input their numbers.

Must have

Yeah this should be a no brainer for a BI tool like power BI. consider this: > salesman is going to contact a customer. > salesman inputs customer number. > dashboard shows customer profile. (e.g. latest purchases, avg turnover, etc.) > salesman becomes super salesman.

I can think of many examples where this would be a great help. In particular it would be amazingly useful if we could add 'comments' that were aligned to the data, and the 'owners' of that data could update their comments directly. We fudge this currently by manually exporting the monthly Top(n) Customers to an XLSx spreadsheet in OneDrive (to generate context for the input) and then sync the Spreadsheet back into the PBI report. This is way too clunky and time consuming. Please consider adding some priority to this request. Thanks.

All traditional BI tools have this feature, PowerBI should have it, helps convert the old reports and dashboards to PowerBI.
