    All ( Anonymous pmurz mlucking motoray ),

     

    MS support just contacted me and confirmed that the Text Filter visual will NOT be deprecated in response to community requests. The deprecation warning will go away within a week.

     

    EDIT: It looks like they have pulled it from AppSource and the warning has returned. I have reopened my case and reached out to the product team for an update.

Hi mlucking ,

 

What you said is correct. I recommend a similar alternative view. It is not guaranteed to be 100% the same. The developers of Text Filter visual don't maintain it anymore. Probably, it will be removed from AppSource soon. Please   use alternative visuals.

 

Best Regards,

So I'm wondering what we should do if--like us--you have a lot of reports published that use this visual? There isn't an alternative that provides the same functionality...at least none that I'm aware of. Just yesterday I was out trying the various alternatives in App Source and they don't filter the same way--at least not the free visuals.

    Hi motoray 

    My biggest concern is that there is no MICROSOFT response to any of this in this forum.   How do we promote this concern to the attention of someone in Power BI Product Management at Microsoft.  They clearly have accountability, but I do not know how to do that. 

     

    Does anyone in this community/forum know how to communicate with MS Power BI team?

     

    Thank you.

      Hi pmurz ,

       

      My last reply was from the Microsoft product group, and Microsoft has officially added a reminder to the desktop.

        Stephen,

         

        Appreciate the response, however it is not really helpful. Can you provide details about what happens to existing published reports that contain this visual once it is officially deprecated? Is there a way to query the service to find all reports using this visual if it does need to be replaced?

         

        These are the questions and concerns shared by most of the users in this thread.
