A report filter with the ability to copy a list of data, be it numerical or text, from an excel document and paste it into a filter allowing for the visualization to update.

This would be similar to a Multiple Values - Custom List filter in a competitors visualization software.

Real world example: If you have a data set that is made up of 100,000 SKUs and you want to analyze a list of 100 SKUs with different attributes, but the only thing you are interested is this custom list.

If this is already an Idea I am happy to vote that up and remove this post.

Thanks for your help.

RE: Multiple Value - Custom List Filter

This feature is highly appreciated by lots of employees in my company (Siemens Healthineers). Any Updates when this feature will be available?

RE: Multiple Value - Custom List Filter

Come on Microsoft! Why isn't this available yet? Now we have major issues with the Filter By List and Mass Filter custom visuals, and nowhere to turn for a slicer where we can paste a list of values and sync across tabs. Completely ridiculous this isn't standard feature in Power BI. I've spent my whole day being bombarded by people trying to do their job and questioning why the Filter By List isn't working. AND there's no easy way to communicate to thousands of users, so this is costing us big time.

RE: Multiple Value - Custom List Filter

This is a very helpful feature, problem that we are facing right now is to shift from excel to pbi and there's a lot of excel features that power bi can do. This definitely one of it. Another is freezing columns in table.

I work for a large Consumer Packaged Goods company with thousands of Power BI users....we would all regularly use this feature. Please tell me it will be released soon!

RE: Multiple Value - Custom List Filter

Please Microsoft, this is a very important use case in our company (online sales site) which has several thousand users , especially for filtering on hundreds of SKUs.

RE: Multiple Value - Custom List Filter

Why has this not been developed? This should be basic functionality in the tool from the beginning.

RE: Multiple Value - Custom List Filter

Please take this improvement request as high priority---- The Business and Customers are requiring this functionality from Power BI , not from Third party tools due to security restrictions.

RE: Multiple Value - Custom List Filter

Still waiting for such an option in the filters.. Just copy multiple values from an excel of other tool and past it...

RE: Multiple Value - Custom List Filter

I think this is still very much needed. Our organization doesn't want to rely on 3rd party solutions. This is also a privacy and security issue for many organizations.
