Searching for a Date
- 2 years ago
Hi Elijabrnc
"Search" is a textual functionality, it isn't working with numeric / date data types.
You can Duplicate your Date column and change it's data type for textual and then use the search option.the pbix with the example is attached

Hi Elijabrnc ,
Thanks for the reply from Ritaf1983. Ritaf1983 is right, her solution is good.
My other solution would be to create a calculated column :.
Column = 'Date'[Date] & “ ”After creating this calculated column, you can see that the data type of the column is Text.
Put this calculated column into Slicer, at this point there is a Search function and you can search for the data you want.
If you want to add a search function to the date type, maybe you can suggest it to Home (microsoft.com).
If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.
The pbix file is attached.
Best Regards,
