URGENT!!!!! Power BI- Integer User Input using what if parameter- Behaves abnormally for large user
I am working on a project. The project is almost completed except that I am stuck at getting the user input for large values.
The detailed explanation of the problem-
I created a new parameter with Minimum=1, Maximum=5000(large value), Increment=1 for the user input. Now when the user enters a value as 4500, the value automatically changes into some other number like 4495(random number).
I created another parameter with Maximum value=50. At that time I faced no issues. The user input was read correctly.
I googled about this issue. Other users have aslo faced similar issue. I tried the solution mentioned in the blog. It did not work.
Link- Other users also faced same issue
Kindly look into the issue and let me know how to get user input for large values.
Thank You in advance!

Hi Anonymous ,
This is because parameters can only be used with value ranges between 0 and 1,000. For ranges greater than 1,000, the parameter value will be sampled.
For more details, you can read related document:

Please try creating the table in M, that should work fine:
let Source = {1..5000}, #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", "Parameter"}}), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns",{{"Parameter", Int64.Type}}) in #"Changed Type"Best regards,
