Text Search for Multiple Words

Screen Shot 2018-09-27 at 10.01.28 PM.png

 

Hello, 

 

As many of you know when using your email through outlook you can search for things like SMITH and PRINTING and you will see either or and all combinations of those 2 words. I would love to be able to allow my end users to do that inside Power BI utilizing the word clouds and text filters available. You can add filters but that limits the options available to the end user. I want them to have flexibility in their search. In the image below it would be great if you can search for "BINDER" and "XEROX" and see the details for the combination but then if another user wants to look at "ACCESSORIES" and "EASEL" they can. Any thoughts on how I could accomplish this? Below is a link to the sample file in quesiton.

Hi @nmck86,

 

Though it isn't as smart as outlook, you can try it like below. Please also consider the order of the words.

One more question, is the only way to get the words individually and collectively is to search separately? Below is only if both words are used.

sorry below is above... 

Hi @nmck86,

 

I'm afraid so. I didn't see anything "Below'. What is it?
