    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

    Mo 10/7/2024 - This is planned

    Thanks for the feedback! This is something we'd like to get to in the future but don't have any plans for at the moment. We suggest checking out the visual Text filter on AppSource in the interim.

    RE: input fields

    This ticket has been out there for 3 years and it's not even off the backlog? We're considering switching back to Tableau because of this as it's a basic expectation of our users.

    RE: input fields

    This is very very essential. All other BI tools have this functionality

    RE: input fields

    I too support having some user input field as parameter being used across queries. please add this but not only for PowerBI, but also for powerquery and powerpivot or simple excel interface as well.

    RE: input fields

    I wholeheartedly agree with this, but I would also add that the user input field be used as the query parameter to run a SQL query against a CosmosDB database, and then the results are visualized back to Power BI.

    RE: input fields

    This is very much needed to make PBI more of an Analytics tool rather than just a visualisation tool. Tableau and Qlik has this as a standard feature. Can we please have this on priority - it has got the votes!
