Text Slider or Slicer to take Start and end values to filter text data.

I have a data field with is of the text data type. I need to filter a table based on a range with the start and end inputs from the slicer. I cannot seem to find a slider that will take text inputs or think of a way to hack the solution.

Hey @mthumukunta ,

 

the slider slicer style is only available for columns with a numeric data type.

Describe the solution you want to create in more detail, what do you want your users to select, and given you have a start and end value what is the search strategy you want to apply. Also provide some sample data, then it will become more simple to imagine the solution you are looking for.

 

Regards,

Tom

The data field in the table that I am displaying is something like 

ID
M5000
1000
SS5000

K6899

 

I need the user to be able to enter start ID and end ID values, which would display the range of values within the entered values in the table. 

 

A slider was the closest I was able to find in terms of functionality of adjusting start and end values. Is there a way achieve this?

 

Thanks for the reply.
