Search Bar

[andykbba]

Hi all,

I have created various visualisations. The data is data for every AUS postcode. I want the option for those looking at the data to be able to type the postcode they want data from into the chart and for the chart to display it. At the moment you have to scroll through thousands of postcode. I saw that there is the option to add a search bar but its not appearing on the visualisations? Why is this and how can i add a search bar to all my visualisations? 

Thanks,
Andy

Hi @andykbba ,

As far as I know, if the data type of the column in your slicer is text, you can find "Search" from "..." icon on right up corner of the slicer.

Please check whether the data type of your [Postcode] is Text. If it is number type, "Search" will be not available.

For reference:

Hi @andykbba,

You can add a slicer in your report and enable search option in it to be able to search for a value and filter the visuals based on it.
