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.

RE: Slicer Search - Add "Select All Results" option
I was so frustrated. Now i know it's missing in the design. We need this!
RE: Slicer Search - Add "Select All Results" option
Just ran across this limitation. *insert facepalm gif*
RE: Slicer Search - Add "Select All Results" option
I agree, when you have a list with hundreds or even thousands of lines of data, and you run a search, you still might come up huge amount of search results and manually selecting the box for each one is not practical.
Remember that in Excel with tables or filters, this option is already available. When you click the down arrow for a particular column the top box says "(Select All)", when you input search criteria, the top box changes to "(Select All Search Results"). This is exactly what we need on the Slicer Search.
RE: Slicer Search - Add "Select All Results" option
This is a desperately needed and completely obvious feature. Without this feature the search function is very limited. Imagine a part number search where 5P4 returns 300 results. The user is supposed to click 300 times?
RE: Slicer Search - Add "Select All Results" option
I agree. This idea would vastly improve the currently slicer search configuration.

As far as I can see now there are three other Ideas that adress this request:

It would by nice the have this feature. You would think that when you activate 'Select all' for a dropdown or list slicer, it would also be available after you Search/ filter your options.
....but it it would also be nice to somehow combine the ideas & votes into one request (or link them). It's difficult to vote of you have 4 similar options.... (i think combining/ relating similar Idea's is better in general)
RE: Slicer Search - Add "Select All Results" option
It is a much needed feature without this the search is really not usefull, as your search result may bring a big list which today has to be manually selected.
Please add this.
