Advanced Search feature in Power BI

[akj2784]

Hi All,

I have a requirement where I need to search the data within columns in Power BI dashboard. 

e.g. "Business AND Analytics" , "Business OR Analytics"

I don't want to use Q&A feature.

Is there a way we can implement this using Azure search feature ? A dataset can have n number of columns. So we should be able to search within all columns. 

Any link/blogs to similar requirement would really help

HI @akj2784,

Unfortunately, current power bi not support this, you can't use filter/slicer to search text in multiple columns. Maybe you can consider to write a dax formula to lookup multiple columns and return result tag or submit an idea for this requirement.

Thanks @Anonymous 

Is there any way we can do it using integration with some other tools features ?

Can Azure Search help in this case ?

HI @akj2784,

Nope, I don't think you can direct use external features on power bi desktop side.
