Super UserHey KevinSGoff ,
You’re right that the "Filter by List" visual from DevScope allows for pasting multiple values, which is a handy feature for scenarios like yours where users need to filter by a list of values such as SKUs. However, as you mentioned, it is a paid visual.
As for free alternatives, I’m not aware of an exact match for this feature in free visuals. That said, Power BI's default slicers do allow for selecting multiple values from a dropdown, but they don't have the paste-in functionality out of the box. One workaround could be using a Text Filter with custom DAX, where users can paste in their list of values (comma-separated), and the measure can filter the data accordingly.
If you’re willing to explore custom solutions, Power BI also supports custom visuals built using JavaScript, which could be tailored to handle copy-pasting.
In summary:
"Filter by List" is a good option but requires licensing.
A free alternative is using a combination of slicers and custom DAX or exploring custom visual options.
