Text search slicer in multiple column

Hi,

I need ONE Text search slicer for search text in two column - find text in column1 OR column2. 

when I work with numbers from two columns I create measure with OR function like:

OR filtrace Odds = 1*(or([M_Odds1]>1.5,[M_Odds2]>1.4))

 

How can I create something similar for two text columns?

I try this solution, but not work.

I resolve it with COMBINEVALUES :

 

StateCountry = COMBINEVALUES ( "|", Customer[State], Customer[CountryRegion] )

Hey @Henryk ,

 

Try this:

 

CALCULATE(SUM(<YOUR_TABLE>[Your_Value]), (<YOUR_TABLE>[Column1] = "String01") || (<YOUR_TABLE>[Column2] = "String02"))
