Filtering columns in a Table or Matrix

Good day,

 

Is it possible to filter a column in a table or matrix without utilizing a slicer?

I have a table with 10 columns and I would like to filter each column without having to create a slicer for each column.

 

Thank you.

@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.
