It would be great if slicers were searchable. Many times the list of possible items people can slice by is large, and having to scroll till you find the value(s) you are looking for is tedious.
Please enable slicers to be searchable (much like what Qlik has been allowing for years already).
Thanks.

Searchable slicers are available now in Power BI! Make sure you're on the June release or later of Power BI Desktop. You can find the search box by clicking the "..." menu on the slicer visual and selecting search.

RE: Searchable Slicer
So i think this is now on the latest version of the desktop. I can now search and it reduces the result set based on my search; however, is there a way i can search and simply press "Return" to pick everything that comes back? I don't want to highlight each record in the result set manually when what i want is all of them. Basically the same behavior of an Excel slicer. Thanks again for the rapid development.
RE: Searchable Slicer
Looks good in the June release. It would be great if the text entered could be easily cleared by pressing the eraser button rather than having to backspace to remove the text.
RE: Searchable Slicer
I agree that searchable slicers is a must. But please also add ability to sort a slicer descending by a measure and to show only top x.

RE: Searchable Slicer
How close is this fix to being fully executed?
RE: Searchable Slicer
One vote more.... Please add this!
It is frustrating to present your dashboard only to hear the users ask why they can't do it. "Just like Excel" is the first reaction :(
RE: Searchable Slicer
This is huge and very welcome! Are you (or is anyone) able to set our expectations on timing?
RE: Searchable Slicer
This feature would greatly accelerate our needs as are customer list is quite extensive.
RE: Searchable Slicer
Awesome news! It'd be nice to have a dropdown/picklist type of slicers too. Makes the real-estate management a lot easier and the reports will look much more pleasing.
