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

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

We need this feature to pass parameters to generate reports similar to BO.

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.
