Hi everyone,
Here is my question,
I have a spreadsheet with different names attached to series of letters (see screen shot)
I want to associate these names to a slicer but without having to modify the original spreadsheet and manually delete the series of letters.
So for exemple in the next slicer I want to associate John SZ + John PPx to John
Thanks,
Nick
