Slicer visual --> search field --> get entry

Hi,

I was looking for a DAX function that gives me the value that the user entered in the search filed of the visual.

(Something similar to SELECTEDVALUE() )

 

Example:

The user sees a slicer with cities, like Amsterdam, Berlin, Boston, Bergamo, CapeTown, ....

Then he enters "B" in the slicers search field to see just the cities Berlin, Boston, Bergamo

 

How do I get this "B"

(Interestingly, ISFILTERED() says FALSE in case that some value is in the search field.

 

Any help is appreciated - thanks!
