How to Create a Slicer for Full Name

Is there a way to create a slicer of full name, where the full name contains a middle initial but is searchable by using partial or full first name and last?

 

Example:
Full Name:  Harvey P. Sample
I need the ability for the user to type "Harvey Sample", "Sample", "Harvey" or "Har Samp" and have the slicer find Harvey P. Sample

Turn on the search option in the slicer. Please see the screenshot for your reference.

If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos

What if the name has a middle initial?
will searching for "Addy Hilty" find "Addy L. Hilty"

We don't have that functionality to the slicer search option

Hello @tomperro. This can be achieved using filters on this page. Add the name field to "Filters", and chang the filtering type to "Advanced Filtering" and Select "Contains" in the "Show items when the value" section. Please see the sceenshot attached. I hope it helps!
