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

one of the most basic request from all end userS and is missing from Power bi desktop, it has been more more than 3 years why is this still BACKLOG How many team members working on the power bi desktop and still can not handle this idea SAD SAD SAD

This really needs to move from Backlog as it would make reports i am trying to build much easier if i could have the user input a value and it would store it so i could then use it. Just been too long to wait for something this important.

That's ridiculous!!! That's the single most important feature that you want. I want a truly dynamic dashboard and at the moment it seems to me that I can achieve more dynamicity through Excel that with this !!! That's unbelievable !!!!

How can I prompt the user to enter a parameter without having to go through Power BI Desktop? In Report Builder when you published a file, if the user opened it, they would be asked to enter a parameter to be used in creating the report. We can currently do this with Report Builder. I don't want a user to have to use Power BI. I want them to click on a link that opens a file and prompts them to input what item number they want the report to print for. I don't want to use a slicer because the list to select what to slice could be long.

This would be huge for data exploration and project management. If a data analyst has put together a half way decent report, a feature like this would let others who aren't data savvy explore scenarios more easily. For example, a project manager wants to know how long a project will take. Data analyst has put everything together and created visuals to help with that projection. In today's Power BI, you cannot make projections unless you've already baked in every data point (totally useless for this scenario); just being able to edit the number of people working on the project would be huge, let alone task breakdowns and exposing more complex math with a simple text input. This feature would likely be a stepping stone for more innovative features to help set Power BI apart.

Our Customer Need this input box for their powerbi report.

This would be a game changer and useful for do many of our customers both internally and externally! Please prioritise!

Agreed. This feature is necessary. In the meantime I am using "Filter by list by Devscope". It is limited to only one parameter but it is better than nothing.

I could use this filter to model discount and margins - back to excel now 😞

My idea here is to use input data to recalculate the power bi and generate scenarios to discuss with data..
