Help Needed: Columns Contain Multiple TextValues: Return All Rows that Contain 1 TextValue

Hi,

 

I am needing assistance with enbabling the ability for executive leadership to select, for example Category in a slicer and that slicer filters all rows that contain Category regardless of whether Cateogry is within that Column+Row singularly or amongst a list.

 

I've tried splitting the columns, unpivoting other columns, removing duplicates - I end up with a Many:Many relationship which skews the rest of the report and simply will not work.  

 

Below is a snippet of the department slicer:

I've enabled the search feature within the slicer and below is what happens when I search for Contracting.  As you can see, I then must go and individually select all 9 in order to return all rows that contain Contracting.

It's the exact same situation with the Stakeholder column - unfortunatley, due to privacy laws, I'm not able to share a snippet of that column.  The only difference is that the names are separated by a semicolon.  But the same concept applies.  If I search for one persons name multiple selections appear like above and I must select all of them in order to return all rows that contain that persons name as a Stakeholder.

 

Thank you,

 

Scott

@Scott1996,

 

Have you tried the Text Filter visual?
