Filtering Text Measures

Hello,

I have a question. I created a measure that concatenates strings, based on a group of fields in a table.

 

 

Providers = 
    CONCATENATEX(
	VALUES('DASHBOARD CA NET'[Provider Company Name]),
		'DASHBOARD CA NET'[Provider Company Name],
		", ",
		'DASHBOARD CA NET'[Provider Company Name],
		ASC
	)

 

 

The problem is only a numeric filter is available, whereas my field is only text (I already tried a CONVERT).

I precise the dataset is already deployed, and not embedded in the Report. So I would like to avoid using a gross workaround like creating a calculated table in the Dataset

Does anybody knows a "client-side" solution ? Or is it simply a bug to report ?

Cheers

@amitchandak Thank you for the fast reply. I retried and no luck for me. Maybe is there something in my measure Power BI doesn't like ?

My Power BI version : 2.104.941.0 64-bit (April 2022)

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

If you add the original field to your view, the text filter will appear. You can try it.
