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
Definitely an important idea. Very needed to do forecasts!! 3 votes
RE: input fields
We absolutely need this!
Another example:
Chart shows operational values for the last rolling X months. Inevitably, someone wants 1 or 2 more months to get a better look at the trend longer term - but they don't want the report changed to reflect that. It would be great to be able to just enter how many of the last months they want to see and throw that into a report filter
Even better - give us a visualization of that. Say, a slider or something like that the user can click on and visually change the input value.
RE: input fields
This would be immensely useful

Please implement this soon as I have users asking for this feature to explore different scenarios when doing client pricing. Thanks
RE: input fields
Definitely needed. Attribute Slicer in custom visuals is nearly there but will not filter on a large list
RE: input fields
Input fields are very common features in our report. I couldn't find them in Power BI. Please add them. Thanks!

RE: input fields
I've used this feature in Spotfire and it's very usefull. This can give to PowerBI a big boost and open more possibilities to analyze and discover the datas.
