Attribute Slicer Values

  I want to display a search box, which will filter a table visual based on a column value. I have used an attribute slicer for this, but this slicer displays all the column values as a list below ...

vanessa The only way to transform an attribute slicer to a drop down list is to shorten the height of the visual. The other complication with this particular visual is if the field you have put into the slicer is a long list, it might not pre-populate the visual with all the elements of that field.

I tried shortening the height of the visual but that did not help.

Also, the field I am using in the slicer has few values, so that is fine.

Is there a way to only display the search box and not the list of values in that field?

Something like this:

Currently the visual shows this:

I would like the values to show up based on the input in the text box.

Is there a way?

    I just tried using the attribute slicer with your example. So a couple of updates...

     

    It looks like the prepopulation has been added so that's good (at least for me, I had a column with a lot of elements and it wasn't able to search if something was way down the list).

     

    I guess instead of shortening the height to just search bar, you might want to leave room for like one or two elements. Of course a drop down would be much more convenient, but you'll just have to work with what you've got so far...
