For several visuals in Power BI, we have the ability to specify some sort of fixed value as a setting/parameter to improve analysis. A few examples:
- Values of constant lines, min/max lines, average, median and percentile lines.
- Gauxe axis: Min, Max Target
- Conditional formatting of table cells: minimum, center, maximum values
The problem is that for those parameters we can only specify a fixed, constant value. For example. I reckon that all visual settings should allow us to specify a measure as an option where the option to specify a constant value is possible. For those familiar with SSRS, this would be anlalogous to the fx button.
I see this as a serious limitation of Power BI, and I already had to use a competitor product in one of our implementations because of it.
You can vote for this suggestion here.
Remember: Since MSFT only seems to evaluate suggestions on a quantitative approach, unless people vote for this -- it might not ever happen.
