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

I'd love to have this functionality. I'm in audit and most of my reports will be based on certain exceptions that need to be corrected by the report recipient. I'd like to give them the option to add their actions into the report so I can keep track of their corrective actions.

I would like to give the end user the ability to enter data, like goals, and use the entered values in visuals. We can have the user enter data into a SharePoint list or an excel spread sheet that is pulled into the data model, however the user has to wait for the refresh to happen before a goal change appears on the screen. Writebacks within the PowerBI service would greatly enhance end user experience.

Any update about getting this in Power BI? This seems to be something that is key to analysis.

Agreed. This feature is necessary.

There is a work around for these types of calculations. But you have to build a table with numbers formatted as text and then another column with the corresponding number formatted as a number. Then you can use the search function as an input field, and measurements doing the calculation you need.

If Microsoft wants, I can help you guys come up with the logic to include something like this fairly easily. Reach out to me @Will Thompson.

I've already built calculators like the one you're asking for my company. I can't share the data since it's not mine but if you guys want to see a video of this let me know and I'll apply the logic to a sample data set.
