Anonymous,

I am afraid that it is not possible to use Text filter to filter all visuals in different report page.

I would recommend you use Power BI built-in slicer, then use the new sync slicer feature. With this feature, you are able to filter visuals in all  the pages based on the selection in the slicer.

Hi Lydia,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

I am not using the in built slicer search as it does not automatically select all values with the keyword I am looking for. For instance, in excel when I search for keyword "xyz", it would auto select all values with "xyz". Power BI strangely does not do that. So user has to browse through several records before they find the one they are looking for. Also, since the slicer says "Select ALL", they often assume everything with keyword "xyz" is auto selected. I guess all Excel users would expect it to work that way. This is why I am trying to use something like text filter.
