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.

Hi zahlenschubser 

 

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

 

Regards

Hi,
I was searching for answer to same question. If my assumption is right - @zahlenschubser asks if there is a slicer with simple text input rather than Search & Select (where you must select the choice). Example - Cognos Reports would have a TextBOX as a prompt option. 

This I think is available in Paginated Reports (at least when using PowerBI Report Builder). But not in normal 'report' because that one is dynamic and data or output visual refresh on the fly..

    I guess you get there easily if you allow multiple select:s. Then you can search, get a list of even hundreds of boxes, and mark them all in one go.
