I need to create a search bar on power bi.
The user inputs ID, which filters a table viz I have created.
The search bar must not have a drop down feature.
The result should only display table values for the ID typed in.
If no ID is typed in, the table must remain EMPTY.
I have tried using slicer and text filter add in.
However, when cleared, the entire table contents are visible.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You could use Bookmarks to save a version of report with blank table. WHen the Clear button is pressed, it goes to the bookmark.

Hi @Anonymous ,
You might try the what-if parameter.
Here is my sample data:
I create a What-if parameter here:
Close here and the slicer will only have a search bar:
Then use the DAX below to create a new measure in the data table:
SelectedData =
IF(
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[ID], 0) = 'Parameter'[Parameter Value],
1,
0
)
Apply 'Filters on this visual' as shown below:
The final result is shown below:
Without input:
Input 1:
