Search Bar in Power BI Slicer

If you have too many items in a slicer, such as the list of customer names, or product names, then finding one amongst the list takes time, unless you enable the search. Fortunately, the search is there for you, you just need to enable it, In this very short article and video, I’ll explain where it is and how you can enable it.

If you don't see the "search" option, change your column in text (even if they are numbers).

Thank you for this video, it helps a lot! and the explanation is good!

Quick and accurate solution! Thanks mate!

Saves a lot of time when looking for a simple toggle that is not easily visible in the item properties pane.

You just dive directly into the solution. Thanks ~

Thanks for sharing. Is it possible to save the search keywords in a variable? I want to use it to conditional format the font. thanks

Thank you for the video. Maybe you know how to tackle the issue we have been facing: whenever you set the Slicer to "Horizontal" in the "General" settings, the search bar doesn't adjust and is always a bit wider than the selection items, which looks kind of bad. I wasn't able to find a solution anywhere so maybe you have an idea. :(

Thanks for sharing. I have a question. Does this search bar option only appear for attributes that are text only? I have an area number in a filter but the search option does not appear in the filter I have created.

Thanks for your amazing content!

What if your data source (SQL Server table) table has a lot of duplicates. How would you remove the duplicates in the searching slicer?

[mutrax]

Great tip. Once you've filtered using a search string, is there a way to select all items in the list ?

[yon_draper]

How do you do this in the latest version of PBI ?

Hey Radacad, I have an issue idk how to tackle.
I have to pool in specific files where each filename has a date part in it in power bi from a folder location. I want to pick those files where the date is of yesterday and 2 days back from current date. Can you suggest how to do it?

[mohsengharagozlian]

Hello Reza Thanks for the Video. I have a question. When I click the three dots on a slicer, there is no search option. Could you please advise

[itsall]

What to do if I am not getting this seach option in MORE or 3 dots

[wexwexexort]

lol, I didn't know about this feature. I was expecting you to explain some workarounds, hacks.

[GilZimmerman]

How do you make the search box case insensitive? It seems the default is case-sensitive.

[Vatsav]

is there a way where we can hide all the items in the slicer and get them when we search in the search Bar ?
It's a bit urgent can someone help me through this please ???
