Hi nkurian,

 

In my test, the slicer works fine, it can filter correct results in report which is contained in an APP.

 

In your scenario, what do you mean "They have to manually select the classes filtered in the slicer to get the results for all classes with "Nursing" in the name"? You said the report was not updated, please re-publish the App for a test. And check whether the slicer work fine in report itself.

Hi v-yulgu-msft,

 

Let us assume that there are 20 countries with the text "a" in the name. If you click the 3 dot on the right top and click on Search and type in "a" in the Search box, the data displayed  in the slicer will only show countries with "a" in it. Then you would have to manually select each country in the filtered down list in the slicer to get the report to update to show results for every country that have "a" in the name. In my scenario, there are many courses with the name "nursing" in it. My business need is to be able to filter the results with course name contain "nursing".

 

Hope the requirement is clear now.

 

Thanks,

Ninu

    Hi nkurian,

     

    Thanks, from above description I can know what you actually required. But unfortunately, it is not supported to select multiple items at a time which are returned by searching key words. You may need to submit such an idea here.
