Difference between New Text Slicer and Text Filter
Hi danextian rajendraongole1 SamInogic
Thank you all for clear explanation.I would consider using the new slicer from next report!
Thank you so much!!
Hi PeraZo -The new "Text Slicer" introduced in the November 2024 Power BI update and the existing "Text Filter" add-in from Microsoft do indeed have similar functionalities, both allowing users to filter data by typing in text.
the main advantages of the Text Slicer lie in its simplicity, default availability, and potential for future enhancements. If you're already using the Text Filter and it meets your needs, you might not notice much difference right now. However, transitioning to the built-in Text Slicer could save effort in managing external visuals and ensure better long-term support.
