Getting Value from Text Filter Visual

Is there a way to get the value searched within the Text Filter visual in order to do additional caluclations?

 

Ex: If the word "data" is input into the Text Filter visual, I can use the word "data" in a measure. 

 

Thoughts?/ Ideas?/ Alternatives?

Hi @mzelt ,

 

To my knowledge, you could not get the input from Text Filter unless you input the complete value accurately:

 

Singel selection = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Value])

Hi @mzelt ,

 

Actually, the developers of Text Filter visual don't maintain it anymore.

So you may use Slicer or Smart Filter visual instead.

I need a measure to be calculated depending on the exchange rate of a currency that is selected in an object

If you want to use the selected value in a measure, SELECTEDVALUE() DAX function can be used. If this is not your requirement, Can you provide more details of what are you looking for?

 

Thanks
