Search filter on exact match

I have a dataset with license plate number and VIN numbers that I want to allow people to search. The data isn't really sensitive, but I would like to only show relevant data, as this will be a publicly facing site, and I would rather not show every license plate and VIN. I am trying to figure out a way to show exact matches only, such that the table of results is empty unless someone enters a license plate or vin that is in the dataset. 

 

Is there a way to do this in Power BI?

Hi @maiios ,

 

Based on my research, this is not supported in Power BI currently.

You can post your idea on Power BI Ideas

It is a place for customers to provide feedback about Power BI.
What's more, if a feedback is highly voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

 

 

Best Regards,

Icey

@maiios not sure if there is out of the box visual, in slicer /filter search it does the partial search. Check if there is a custom visual, I'm not aware of any.
