Hello,

is it possible to create a field with freely entering a number, that can be used as a filter or calculation value in existing measures?

Hi @Tober1996 

 

You might refer to the what-if parameter:

Sounds like you want a What If parameter. Basically, create a table using GENERATESERIES and then use SELECTEDVALUE in a measure.
