Slicers, on the other hand, can be linked to multiple Pivot Tables (as we will see later in this tutorial).

You can also choose to select multiple items at once.

You’ll notice that the selected item gets a different shade of color as compared with the other items in the list. For example, to get the sales for South region only, click on South. Once you have inserted the slicer, you can filter the data by simply clicking on the item. Note that Slicer would automatically identify all the unique items of the selected dimension and list it in the slicer box. This will insert the Slicer(s) in the worksheet. For example, if I only select Region, it will insert the Region Slicer box only, and if I select Region and Retailer Type both, then it’ll insert two Slicers. The Slicer Box would list all the available dimensions and you can select one or more than one dimensions at once. In the Insert Slicers dialog box, select the dimension for which you the ability to filter the data.Here are the steps to insert a Slicer for this Pivot Table: Slicers are a more visual way that allows you to filter the Pivot Table data based on the selection. For example, if you don’t want to see the sales for all the regions, but only for South, or South and West, then you can insert the slicer and quickly select the desired region(s) for which you want to get the sales data. You may need slicers when you don’t want the entire Pivot Table, but only a part of it. Once you have the Pivot Table in place, you can insert Slicers.
