Thank you. In the company table I don't have a single column containing all the information I want to search for. Only individual columns for various dimensions. That is why I had to create a separate table.
I have installed it on 13th of November. If you need to, please download and reinstall the latest version and, in the preview section in the options and settings, enable the text slicer preview.
Must admit I have always seen PowerBI as an app for a tablet or iPad. Users using these devices hate typing on them and would prefer normal drop down list to quickly select with a pen or finger. Just my opinion.
I appreciate that, and I do believe as well that the biggest advantage of Power BI is that it can be consumed on the go. That's why I believe this option should be used in conjunction with the "regular" slicers. For example, in all of my reports now I have the regular slicer panel and I have added this option as well. And now it's up to the user to choose which option suits best for the situation. Let me give you an example: if one of our sales manager would like to use a drop down and filter through 4k customers, then that is a task in itself. On the other hand if they can type the name of the customer, then it is a lot easier. On the same type of scenario, if they want to filter by areas, then it's a lot easier to use the slicer as there are less options to go through.
Nice video! :)
P.S. Maybe it is better to reference the company table, since you're using its last stage anyway.
Thank you.
