I found a way to solve this problem - duplicate the column with numbers in the source and format it as text. Now I can use the column with numbers in my visual, and use the text copy of this column in the filter, the search works well. 

It help a lot with the list of payment for example, when I need to sort them by the number and have a possibility to search for a specific number.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Based on my research, Power BI doesn't support to add a search option to a table visual.

 

You can add a built-in slicer or custom visuals like Text Filter or Text search slicer to the report. However, the search option of a built-in slicer is only available when field in the slicer is Text type. And the above two custom visuals only work for Text type columns too. I don't find a visual that can search or filter numeric values.
