Power BI input slicer multiple values displayed as count - UX issue - quick win

The current input slicer when enabled to accept multiple values - text is displayed as count - instead allow it to show atleast three words or adjust accordingly to show count once the text is overflowing the search box.

This is a UX issue and does not show clearly what is being search in the text box.

after the user types the search text - in this case two words - the input slicer by default stars to show count of words searched - this is not very user friendly.

instead allow it to show expanded values by default.. and only collapse when the text is over flowing, the feature is already there just need small refinement in the input slicer.

Hi @abshann  ,
This behavior is related to how the Power BI input slicer visual represents entered values as selectable items within the slicer. The official documentation describes how values are handled and displayed within the visual, but it does not mention any option to control or customize how multiple entered values are shown in the slicer display.

Since this specific display behavior is not configurable as per current documentation, you may consider submitting this as a feature request through the Ideas portal.
