Visual Planner: Drag-and-Drop What-If Modeling in Power BI | Writeback Use Cases Ep. 5

Here’s the question behind this one: what if the chart wasn’t the output, but the input? The Visual Planner lets executives plan by dragging data points on a chart or moving a slider, then watch the numbers rebalance and ripple through. It’s the lowest-friction way to run what-if modeling for people who don’t want to touch a grid.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ Driver-based planning by dragging points directly on a line chart

✅ Locking a total so the rest of the values rebalance automatically

✅ A slider-based what-if model for revenue and expense scenarios

✅ Real deployments: sales quota planning and private equity portfolio modeling

A fast, visual way for executives to model scenarios inside Power BI.
