Advocate I"Text Filter" https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104381309?tab=Overview
This has been a very useful visual for me in my various Power BI report. However, I recently noticed an "alert" on this visual, saying it is not supported. can you please update the visual to the latest interface?
Else, is there an alternate visual for this? I know the Slicer has similar functionality.
We deploy Power BI embedded to hundreds of Airlines around the world, this is a key visual for our users.
Couldn't agree more. This visual is critical to our reports because the alternative search feature set available using drop downs is horribly non-user friendly. The base format of a search box has always been a form of a simple text filter. It's baffling to me that a modern system could be implemented without one. This will be a huge blow if we can't find an alternative.
Agree we use it in most of our reports and don't have any alterative. It isn't the most performant or feature rich visual but it is the best we have.
I wish there was a native integration with Cognitive Search in Power BI.

We have this visual in many of our enterprise reports. What is the impact to those existing reports published to the service after this has been deprecated? Will the reports load with the visual just showing an error? How can we collect all of our reports that have been published with this visual to replace it?
Hi all,
I encountered the same issue as described above, I reached out to Ranin from Microsoft and got the following reply;

I would love to believe this, but if this is true an immediate post here and on other community forum posts indicating this would be great. Until there is official notification I don't think anyone can rely on that message.
I spoke with support and the product team yesterday and was advised it was definitely going away.Hi BamDastard,
I am not working for MS so there no guarantees from my side, besides that it is my genuine email message and here reply. She is a Product Manager associated with PowerBI / Visualisations (see the top of this page). I informed my customer about the reply but ofc will keep on checking whether it indeed keeps on working.
"Text filter"
Hi
The visual Text filter will not be depreicated. We will continue supporting this visual.
The in-product message will be removed.Thanks!
