We already discussed how to create, use and connect Excel Slicers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, however, we did not show how, when and in what way Slicers<\/strong> could be manipulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will show how to order a Slicer <\/strong>in a custom manner in the text below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Custom Order Slicer in Excel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As in the previous examples with Slicers<\/a>, we will use the list of NBA players, their teams, conferences, and statistics from several matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"C:\\Users\\Harun\\Desktop\\Upwork<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our data set has 28 rows, but only 10 are presented in the table above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will create the Pivot Table<\/strong>, put Players<\/strong> in the Rows field<\/strong>, and the sum of points and rebounds in the Values field<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our table looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now we will insert a Slicer<\/strong> and choose Player<\/strong> as a column in it. We will notice that the data in our Slicer<\/strong> are ordered alphabetically, although the data in our original table is not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How exactly could we change this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first, we will delete the Slicer<\/strong> that we have. Next, we go to File >> Options >> Advanced<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, we have to scroll down to the General section<\/strong> and select Edit Custom Lists<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When we click on this button, a pop-up window will appear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We have to add the list of our NBA players in here. We will click on the little icon next to the text \u201cImport list from cells\u201d<\/strong> and select range A2:A10<\/strong> from the NBA players sheet<\/strong>. In this range, all of our players are located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We will then click Import<\/strong>. We now have our players on our Custom list<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We will click OK<\/strong>, go back to our Pivot Table<\/strong> and create a Slicer<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the list in our Slicer<\/strong> corresponds to the list in our original table and our Custom list<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If we want to change the order again for any reason, we just have to repeat all of these steps and create the order that we want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prove that, we will go to the Edit Customs Lists<\/strong> again and place LeBron James on the fifth place in the list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When we create our Slicer<\/strong> again, Lebron James will be fifth in it, as we defined:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
