Custom visual to accept list of comma separated keywords to include and exclude from a text table

Need a custom visual which accepts two seperate list of comma seperated words as user input to include and exclude the keywords mentioned by user from dashboard.

For e.g.
I have list of people with their name gender and places they have visited in last 1 year:

 

List of people with their gender and places visited in last 1 year
Jhonny, Male, Dubai, Delhi, Bangalore, Singapore, Jakarta
Adam, Male, Newyork, London, Chicago
Judith, Female, Amsterdam, Dubai, Singapore, Sydney
Emily, Female, Chicago, Paris, Rome, Dubai
John, Male, Los Angeles, Vancouver, London, Dubai
Jessica, Female, Madrid, London, Berlin, Dubai, Singapore



I want to do a search of people who have visited "Singapore" and "Dubai" but want to exclude all male and people who have visited sydney so user input is like this:

 

Include words
Singapore, Dubai

 

Exclude Words
Male, Sydney


Hence my result on dashboard will be:

Result:
Jessica, Female, Madrid, London, Berlin, Dubai, Singapore


Note: The number of include and exclude words can be more then two words. Can someone please suggest if we have any such visual or is it possible through DAX.

You will have to write your own custom visual for that. Remember though that custom visuals are not able to parse the dataset, they can only work on the fields/columns they are provided.
