    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

    Hi everyone. This is something we'd like to get to in the future but don't have any plans for at the moment.

    Yes please! I would love to be able to enter a parameter and do a calculation with it.

    RE: input fields

    I hope this feature is supported soon. My application of it would be to have an 'override' checkbox for an audit report. The report highlight issues for review, which naturally fall off when conditions are corrected. The override box would allow the items to be removed from the report when the row is an exception.

    RE: input fields

    Would love something like this in PBI, one more thing to make it competitive with Tableau.

    RE: input fields

    In the company we use Spotfire and this functionality is very interesting, since in addition to being able to include the data, it still stores the information in the database, that is, we can retrieve and even compare the information entered.
    Great idea when available in POwer bi, because the parameter option does not have this functionality.
