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.

Just echoing the sentiment. Please add this relatively basic feature. Many consider it a fundamental feature, not a "nice to have".

Maybe put a focus group together that consists of developers/end users in many different industries (insurance, tech, retail, etc...). Then, ask them if they work with computers, data, and > 25 numbers. If they answer yes (I suspect they will), boom! You've got your answer. They have the tools, content, and quantity of data necessary for the ability to search numbers in a slicer/filter.

Follow me for more consulting advice.

up vote, a common theme with all Microsoft products is "if it only just did this one more thing...."

What's the point in a search feature when you can't easily select the results?

This feature is so much needed indeed! In the meantime, maybe this helps some instead:

In the Tableau it is possible to select all values after searching by holding the Shift button. In the Google Data Studio this feature is implemented by default. Dear developers, why haven’t you yet implemented this feature in Power BI?

Since 2016 and there is no solution, I know MS is doing such great updates and adding nice features, but this is supposed to be a basic feature available as part of MVP-1.
Please deploy this feature.
