    Currently the what if parameter filter cant handle too many items. I am trying to create a filter for a range of all values between 1 - 100,000 but it keeps sampling the range.

    Need way to over ride the sampling

    Needs to be fixed - feature is severely limited right now. How did this not get noticed before being released?

    I agree that the limit needs to be increased. It is very frustrating to get a "Representative Sample" when I want it to be a single value.
