Slicers are key Power BI feature that let users filter data. While a slicer is often associated with a single column, you may also a single slicer to filter data across multiple columns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using just one slicer, you can streamline your reports and easily filter data across multiple columns, which not only saves time but as well ensure accuracy and consistency in your reporting, and allow more flexible filtering options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I will walk you through the process of creating a Power BI slicer for multiple columns using a sample dataset.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let’s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Slicer for Multiple Columns \u2014 How It Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The one Slicer for multiple columns technique in Power BI allows you to filter data across multiple columns using just one slicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, imagine you have two columns in your report: \u201cCountry\u201d and \u201cRegion\u201d<\/strong> and you want to filter data for both columns simultaneously, using two separate slicers can be time-consuming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you can create a \u201chelper\u201d column to concatenate the data from both columns. This column can then be used as a slicer in your report, letting you filter data for both columns simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
