Power BI Slicer - Search and select all

[sb19999]

Currently power bi does not support searching on a filter and selecting all searched results.

Is there any workaround to achieve this? I have a filter on the power bi report showing item names. I want to search for Item-dev and select all search results that appear.

Use Filter by Powerviz in Power BI AppSource.

Still no workaround or feature for this?

I found this link that works quite well.  They used a text filter visual.

Hi @sb19999 ,

According to my test, you can select show "select all" option in Format->selection controls. then search for relevant filter results in slicer, these displayed results are selected by default. But after testing, this way does not work for visuals, which still shows the results corresponding to the select all filter.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

No, this does not resolve the issue as what you have described is actually selecting ALL members of the dimension, but the idea is to be able to select only the results of the search and all of them at once - there could be potentially dozens!

i think the primary issue from the user side is that the "select all" option dissappears when something is typed into the search bar. 

however i think the issue is more internal than that. 

if you have a slicer with with two fields. 

container

items. 

then search for an item. 

you will get a list of containers with the items.
if you select any of the containers you will filter by all the items not just that show in the search results. 

so you have to individually select the items that match the search.  

there appears to be no easy way to select just what has been searched for in one click. either with a select all or with a hiearchy

Hi @NikhilKumar 

No, I am looking to search for a keyword and select all the searched text. In the below screenshot I have searched for 'ja' and 2 results appear. How do I select both the results in one shot instead of clicking them individually.

Hi @sb19999 ,

Activate select all option.

Then search for your keyword. 

you can try if that will work.
