Multiple manual value inputs

[KevinMcnally]

I am trying to input multiple unique values manually into a column where I can then divide this value into sales. I tried 'New parameters' but this only creates one value through a slicer. Any suggestions on how to input multiple unique values manually (please also see the screenshot below for a much clearer representation of this) would be GREATLY appreciated. 🙂 

PS. I am using a live connection to a SQL database.

Kind regards,

Kevin

Hey @KevinMcnally ,

unfortunately, the answer to your question is simple. It's not possible!

Basically, Power BI does not support input. There are some approaches you might try though.
First approach, you consider using a Power App that allows you to add values to a SQL Server table. Please be aware that using a Power App requires additional licensing, even more as SQL Server storage requires Power Apps Premium licensing.

My approach would be using the Inforiver Enterprise visual as this visual supports writeback that blends perfectly into a table, also this approach requires additional licensing.

Hopefully, this provides you with some ideas of how to tackle your challenge.

Regards,

Tom

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, Tom. This kind of manual input functionality would be tremendously helpful for analyzing unit based business decisions relative to sales datasets. I'll look into that app you recommended!
