In my PowerBI App I have a visual tool called `Text Filter` that provides a text search tool for finding data quickly for a single column of data in the table. The problem is that I want it to search on multiple text columns instead of just one.
I created a calculated column that combines all the text columns I want to search:
DAX
srch_data = [Item No] & "~" & [DocumentNo] & "~" & [OrderNo] & "~" & [Description] & "~" & related(Posted_AR_Header[External_Document_No_]) & "~" & RELATED(Posted_AR_Header[No]) & "~" & RELATED(Posted_AR_Header[ShiptoAddress]) & "~" & RELATED(Posted_AR_Header[ShiptoCity] )
Next, I applied the new calculated column (srch_data) to the Text Filter visual tool.
It all works fine but it seems like there should be a better way to highlight/filter row data that meets the search criteria for multiple columns in the table.
Is there a better way to search for text in multiple columns??

That really surprises me that they don't a widget that can handle a multiple column search. It's such a basic need. For that matter, they should have a global search visual tool too. It's so limiting to pin a search down to one column unless you DAX it..
