Power BI keyword search slicer

Hello,

 

Is it possible to have a keyword search slicer with some default values pre-populated in the same slicer to either select a default value or type in to search a keyword in a report?

Hi @jincevj ,

If the referenced column is text type, you can click the three dots (…) from the upper-right corner of the Slicer, then you should find the option Search.

But if the referenced column only contains numbers, the search box usually does not appear, you can choose custom visual like Tile search slicer

Hi @v-yanjiang-msft 

Thanks for your reply.

If the referenced column is a text type which visual are we using. I have used custom visual like Text Filter but I am unable to find the search option and same thing is happening if I am using the slicer.

 

Hi @jincevj ,

If the referenced column is a text type, you can use the slicer I marked it with a red line, it works fine.
