Slicer and Search

Is there a way to make a slicer search look for text that I enter from left to right and not just any where in the string of text choices for the slicer?   

 

If not, on large tables it can make finding your choice sometimes almost impossible.

No help at all.  I know how to create a search.   Using you example, is there a way to enter Bla and the only results we would see would be Black Tea and not the Brewed results?

Hi @bdehning 

See the example, I don't see any issue.
This is solution with Native power bi visual

If you want you can use free with a similar search feature custom visual HierarchySlicer

The issue is when you have around 500 results that come up with Bla in the middle.
