Filtering columns in a Table or Matrix

ap360 - You can use "Filters on this visual" which is found on the filter pane when you have the table / matrix selected. 

If this works, please mark it as the solution. 

Thanks for the reply from mark_endicott , please allow me to provide another insight:

Hi ap360 ,

There is a class of filters that work similarly to slicer, which can filter on visual without using slicer.

Filter on this visual, filter on this report, filter on all pages.If you only want to filter on the specified table visual, you only need to select filter on this visual:

If you select the other, you may be affected by the filter on other visual affected by the field.

For more details, you can read below document:
