7 Merged Ideas
Comments Please add input filed
This is a very important and user friendly functionality and should be priortize. It will certainly increase the flexibility of analyzing data in Power BI. In Tableau we have user input parameters for the reports.
At my new job I'm using Tableau, which has user input parameters for the output report.
25 years ago Crystal Reports had user input parameters.

Hello ,
An "input filed" is very interesting for example to see a dynamic statistic in funtion of a min and max date.
To create an input field I propose this for the dax function :
> a component which accept several format type (date, datetime, hour, numeric,text, ...)
> the component save in memory a default value if the field of component is empty/voide
> in dax formula give an instruction to pass in variable for a column, the value , replace by a default value in a column if the user doesn' insert a value
'@will-thompson
My idea with a suggestion :
Component
In option of component
[default value in column;replace value in column after input of user]
If replace value is empty/voide/null
Past default value of component in column
Else past replace value
/* default value can empty/voide/null */
Example if function of type format :
with date [01/01/1900;01/12/2019]
with datetime [01/01/1900 00:00:00;01/12/2019 12:13:14]
with hour [00:00:00;02:03:04]
with text [field_text;your_text_value]
with numeric [0;1234]
I don't know how you can past the value . It's only a suggestion. For example when you are in "online mod" with app.powerbi.com and the user can interact you dax or power query .
The dax function of input field can be like this :
inputfield(name_of_component;past_value_in_inputfield)
Not sure why this is pushed back even after so many votes. This opens a lot of possibilities when used with DirectQuery mode
Basic features to create more specifically tailored reports. Hope it goes up more !
Please add this feature
Please add this feature as it is a basic feature in other tools and couldn't convince customers for simple missing features in Power BI.
I'd love to update my reporting services to Power BI, and is the only feature that BI is lacking that prevents me from switching to it.

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.
