Input Slicer visual no longer correctly processes pasted multiline values
The Microsoft Input Slicer visual no longer correctly processes pasted multiline values.
Historically, users could copy a column of values from Excel and paste directly into the Input Slicer.
Each line would be interpreted as a separate value and applied as a multi-value filter.
The current behaviour converts line breaks into spaces, resulting in a single search string instead of multiple filter values.
Observations:
- Issue reproduced using Notepad, therefore not related to Excel clipboard formatting.
- The visual appears to replace carriage returns / line feeds with spaces before parsing the values.
- Behaviour differs from previous functionality where bulk paste of multiple values was supported.
Environment:
- Power BI Desktop: 2.156.951.0 (July 2026)
- OS: Windows 11 (Build 26200)
- Model Mode: DirectQuery
- Input Slicer: Microsoft published visual
Impact:
Users can no longer efficiently paste lists of IDs, emails, personnel numbers, trade IDs, or other identifiers into the Input Slicer for ad-hoc analysis. Values must now be entered individually using Ctrl+Enter, which is impractical for larger lists.
