Visual Filter to allow a user to paste in many values

Hi KevinSGoff 

You're absolutely right—"Filter by List" from DevScope is a popular Power BI visual designed specifically for scenarios like yours, where users need to filter by a list of values (e.g., a list of SKUs) and want to copy-paste them all at once instead of using the standard slicer dropdown or search box. It enhances usability for reports dealing with long or complex lists. However, it’s important to note that "Filter by List" is a certified but paid visual—DevScope offers it as part of their Business Intelligence suite, and while it may be free to try, continued use typically requires a license after a trial period.

As of now, there’s no fully free visual in AppSource that offers the same paste-and-filter functionality at the same level of usability. A few workarounds exist, such as creating a parameter table with user input through Power Apps integration or custom visuals, but those methods are less intuitive and require more setup.

Many users who adopt "Filter by List" report that it works well and is worth the cost for business users who frequently filter by multiple values, especially in operational or SKU-heavy environments. If you’re not ready to invest, one alternative could be setting up a report page where users can upload an Excel or CSV file containing their list of SKUs and join that table to your data model—but that’s more technical and doesn’t offer the seamless copy-paste experience.

In short, if ease of use and efficiency are your goals and you frequently deal with filtering large lists of identifiers, “Filter by List” is likely worth the investment, and there’s no truly equivalent free visual currently available.
