Hi Anonymous,

 

By my test, The custom visual Text Filter which is used for searching text string type not number type. Your ID numbers should be the number type so the Text Filter doesn't work.

 

You could use Slicer in Power BI to filter the ID you want.

 

Slicer for number search this feature is not supported in Power BI currently. You could vote this idea which has been submitted in Power BI ideas forum and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.

 

Best  Regards,

    I guess that makes sense since it's called "text search", but the slicer assumes I'm always looking for a range. I basically want to be able to type in a specific number and hit 'go' (or using an autofill to help fill it in as the user types, but you get the idea).

      Hi Anonymous,

       

       

      Currently, you could use list Slicer to filter the number id like below as a workaround.

        That doesn't allow the user to type in the ID of the record. Setting it to "between" is the only one that works because the user can type in the record number, but it isn't good because they have to type it in twice.
