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

- ksucklingNew MemberI know this feature as a parameter in Tableau. A very powerful feature that provides all sorts of options to make your reports and dashboards far more powerful and easy to use at the same time. http://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/online/windows/en-us/qs_parameters.html

- andrea_brambillNew MemberI've used this feature in Spotfire and it's very usefull. This can give to PowerBI a big boost and open more possibilities to analyze and discover the datas.
- robbinsd4New MemberTHIS IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR ORGANIZATION NEEDS!!!!!!!
- dgrimwoodNew MemberDefinitely needed. Attribute Slicer in custom visuals is nearly there but will not filter on a large list
- goblueifyNew MemberInput fields are very common features in our report. I couldn't find them in Power BI. Please add them. Thanks!
- buiniaFrequent VisitorPlease implement this soon as I have users asking for this feature to explore different scenarios when doing client pricing. Thanks
