The basic Slicer in power bi already has a search feature. My request is to add a way to select all search results in one click. For example, say I search a text column in the slicer for all values with "ipad" and I get 200+ results returned in the slicer. It would be super helpful if you could select all 200+ results in one click since selecting one-by-one is so tedious.

Power BI recently rolled out in my place of work and this is something a number of report consumers are asking for.

...a lot of 'searching and single clicks' going on which is both very frustrating and incredibly unproductive.

This would be a subtle, but great improvement.

The select all option will not show up when we search for a text in the slicer. We still want to see the option of "Select All" so that we can select all of the filtered items based on the search string.

This feature is already in Excel Pivot table filters - hoping this can help speed this feature along!

Would be nice selecting all instead selecting one to one... It would be very helpful!

It would be really helpful and it would make Power B more "user friendly" adding this option to the slicer search

RE: Slicer Search - Add "Select All Results" option

There is a Text Filter custom visual that allows keyword search, but unlike the slicer search it does not let users see the matching entries as they type along. There is no visual feedback to user on what entries are returned based on the search term so a clumsy work-around is to use both the Text Filter and a Slicer.

It is much needed to have a single visual (preferably Slicer) that allows drop down multi-select and text search that auto selects matching entries similar to Excel column filters. It would be super awesome if the slier text search can support wild cards like in Excel.

It is so frustrating to find Power BI lacking many features that are available in Excel for ages. Please implement this ASAP!

Still not having this feature after so many iterations is a joke!!!
