Hi  @haritools 
what is the purpose of the text box?
If to filter the report you can use the slicer :

Hi 

Thanks for the reply,

I am creating a kind of calculator, in this user need to add some text only for the reference. It not going to use any functionally.

For examle Name entry, Place entry etc.

 

Thanks in advance if I get a better sollution.

Hi @haritools 

I'm having trouble understanding how non-functionality and reference can fit together in the same sentence.

In my view, a reference is inherently functional because if it refers to entered text, it's there to do something, influence a specific calculation, serve as a parameter, and so on. And then the text box is slicer...as I mentioned in my previous response.

In any case, there's no such thing as a plain text box for user input.

My answer remains unchanged.

You can use a search slicer, refer it to an empty table, and call it a text box since it will never find anything.
