Search text string within column

‎01-17-2018 07:20 AM

In Power bi DESKTOP, Is it possible to search for a text within a column or the entier table  from the menu?

Alternativly can I go to a specific raw/record in a table?

Hi @gtamir,

 

I'm afraid you can't do it in the data view directly. Maybe you can search it in a slicer or in the Query Editor.

 

Search_text_string_within_column

 

If you want to search the table in the data view, please create an idea here.

 

Best Regards,

Dale
