Way to Display selected slicer values in a text box? Dynamic

Is there any way for me to have a textbox that will show what values the user has selected for a slicer? While also dyanmically updating based on their selection?

@bhanes22 Sure, use a Card visual and a measure like CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT('Table'[SlicerColumn]),[SlicerColumn],",")

Hi @bhanes22 ,

As far as I know, it is not possible to use textbox to achieve. You could try card to achieve it.

Try a measure like:

 

 

if(isfilterred(Table[name]),selectedvalue(Table[name]),"organization")

 

 

Or(more values):

 

 

Selected values=
CONCATENATEX ( VALUES ( table[values] ) , [values] , ",")

 

 

 Since you did not provide the template data, I cannot demonstrate it to you, you can refer to the following links containing similar questions:

Wish it is helpful for you!
