Manual Value Adder with drop down

Hi All, 

 

More of a question than help with anything. 


Is it possible with Power BI to add a drop down from a data set that allows you to manually add a value to a total. 

 

EG:

Total = 100

Pick from the drop down 10, it adds 10 to the total.

Hi @m1ke909 

 

You can manually add the value to source data in power query , but if the total is aggregate value, it's not accessible currently.

you could do something like this with DAX and What If parameters 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-what-if

mixed with ISFILTERED or HASONEVALUE to cater only for the Total (you have to set it up per specific dimension though)

Even though it's doable, I think it's not a good practice - it's will be difficult to make sure you show correct number in all the scenarios/data cuts
