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.

RE: input fields
It's about time Power BI has this important feature. Thanks.
RE: input fields
Seriously limiting what we can do as a organisation, please add
RE: input fields
Any updates on it?
RE: input fields
We have got so many applications that this would be useful for. It would be great to get this functionality introduced soon
RE: input fields
Will be very useful to have
RE: input fields
Highly useful !!
RE: input fields
I have several SSRS reports that use input fields. I've been asked to convert these reports to Power BI. Without the user input fields this is going to be difficult and I will also need to redesign how the reports work.
Any idea if this is being considered for Power BI or is this an unrealistic hope.
RE: input fields
This would be extremely helpful! And soon! Currently prevented from converting other work to PBI because of the difficulty involved in getting at a less than ideal solution.
RE: input fields
This feature would enable development of a very Sophisticated modeling, reporting and user information gathering tool to fully exploit the powerful capabilities of PowerBI vs ongoing usage of Excel as the alternative. Think of adding a calculated column of user input, as well as individual fields, and then a button to activate column over rides. I have the ongoing need/application for this, and it’s only growing.
RE: input fields
Unfortunately, MS seems much more focused on making reports pretty than on making the tool work in a reasonable manner!
