Quick summary
Slicers in Power BI are interactive filter visuals that let users dynamically segment report data without editing the underlying query. Adding a slicer visual from the Visualizations pane and binding it to a field gives every report viewer on-canvas control over what data is displayed.
Steps
- Open Power BI Desktop and navigate to the Report View.
- From the Visualizations pane, select the Slicer visual.
- From the Fields pane, drag a field into the Values area of the slicer.
- Click Format visual to customize the slicer type.
- Choose your preferred slicer style from the format menu.
- Change the slicer orientation to match your report layout.
- Your Power BI slicer is now configured and ready to use effectively.
