Hi all!!
I am new in PBI and I have some question about a search function. I hope someone could help me.
I have a column with Keywords and I use them as a filter slicer
I want to select one or more, maybe all the Keywords in the slicer and I want to filter this table, for MAT_DESCRIPTION
For example, if I select in the filter “TEST”; I expect to see the rows with this description test in the rows, and if I select “te” I expect to see the rows with this expression.
I created a Measure row in the table and I used this DAX function that I found the community
SearchFil = IF(SEARCH(SELECTEDVALUE('keys'[Column1]), MAX(‘Mytable’'[MAT_DESCRIPTION]),, BLANK()) =1, MAX ('Mytable'[MAT_DESCRIPTION]), BLANK())
When I select “te”; I want to see the first 6 rows and only see from the second to 6
When I select “TEST”; I see the corrects rows
When I select “TEST and “te” I see all the rows, included some of don’t need to view; the last 3 rows.
I am doing something wrong, but I cant find what is.
I appreciate your help for this. Thanks a lot.
@Anonymous,
Please use DAX below, then set value of chkmeasure in visual level filter to 1.
chkmeasure = IF(
SUMX(Keys,
FIND(
UPPER(Keys[Column1]),
UPPER(MAX(Mytable[MAT_DESCRIPTION]))
,,0
)
) > 0,
1,
0
)
More details in this PBIX file.

Lydia
Thanks @Anonymous , your measure helped me with one of my reports.
Thanks very much for your help!
I only have a doubt, when i select the option select all, dont send me results.
Thanks.
@Anonymous,
I am afraid that Select all option will not work in this case. I would recommend you disable select all option as it has same effect as that there is no selection in the slicer.

Lydia
