With PivotTable slicers, you can filter a PivotTable using visual buttons. Slicers also show the current filtering state, by greying out positions that are not present in the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPivot Table slicers vs filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSlicers are not necessary to filter data inside a PivotTable, they are just a helpful way to make filtering more visually appealing than with standard filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCreating a PivotTable and adding a slicer<\/h2>\n\n\n\nBefore you add a slicer, you have to create a PivotTable from a standard table. You can download the data I used under this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nInsert a PivotTable (Insert >> Tables >> PivotTable<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\nClick the PivotTable and on the right side, inside the PivotTable fields check: Film, Director, and Actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDrag Actor<\/strong> to filters and Director<\/strong> and Film<\/strong> to ROWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis configuration will create a list of directors and movies that they made. There is also a filter where you can choose only movies where the selected actor played a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow, let\u2019s create a slicer. Click the PivotTable and go to PivotTable Tools >> Analyze >> Filter >> Insert Slicer<\/strong> or Insert >> Filters >> Slicer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSelect Director<\/strong> to create a slicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou can click any button inside the slicer, and the filtered data will change accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe multiple-column view<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs you could see inside the Insert Slicers<\/strong> window, you can add more than just one slicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAll of the selected slicers will be connected to one another. This time select Film<\/strong>, Director<\/strong> and Actor<\/strong>. It will create three slicers, which you can drag and scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you choose one button, the available option will be highlighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA few ways to filter a slicer<\/h2>\n\n\n\nTo select another position on the slicer just click it. You can also select multiple options by holding the Ctrl<\/strong> button and clicking the other option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow, you are going to see all the available options. In this case all movies from both directors and all actors on the list that played a role in these movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMultiple columns in the slicer<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Actor<\/strong> slicer is a bit too tall and you can\u2019t see all the results. In Excel, you can choose to display the slicer buttons in more than one column.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClick the slicer and go to Slicer Tools >> Buttons<\/strong>. Here, there is a column field. Change the number of columns to 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt keeps the same width, so only part of the text will be visible. But you can easily control the height and width by dragging one of the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nConnect the slicer to multiple pivot tables<\/h2>\n\n\n\nCopy the PivotTable and make a copy, by selecting all cells of the pivot table and pressing Ctrl + C<\/strong>. To paste click a cell where you want to paste and press Ctrl + V<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nModify both PivotTables.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFirst PivotTable<\/h3>\n\n\n\nSelect only the Director<\/strong> and Film<\/strong> options. Your order should look like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSecond PivotTable<\/h3>\n\n\n\nIn the second PivotTable Genre<\/strong> and Film<\/strong>. This is the order of the second PivotTable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis is going to give you the following result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nClick the first PivotTable and choose PivotTable Tools >> Analyze >> Filter >> Insert Slicer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you click any of the buttons, you will see that only the first PivotTable changed and the second one is not affected. It works this way because you\u2019ve created slicer only for the first PivotTable.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut there is a way to create a slicer that will affect any number of PivotTables.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClick the slicer and go to Slicer Tools >> Options >> Report Connections<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSelect both PivotTables and click OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNow, if you click a button, both pivot tables will change accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nExcel 365 Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nNew Slicer Formatting Options:<\/strong> Excel 365 offers more options for customizing the visual appearance of slicers.
