Creating an input field slicer
I was wondering if it was possible to create a slicer with an input field that would search a column in a table for the input text and then act as a slicer filter for the other visuals.
You can enable search in a slicer, is that what you are looking for?
Click the ellipsis ...
Click Search, then type in your search term and select any matching items

That helps, but what I would like to have is a slicer I - or any other user - can input what they want to filter or search for.
Also if I filter in the way you suggested that does not filter my results, I have to manually do that.
Doesn't what I suggest do that? Slicers don't have any other search functionality.

If I need to put a different visual to do this that's fine of course, I just thought if that functionality was included that would be in a slicer.
