Boolean slicer-like element?

Hi,   One column in my data is the type of payment for car parks, e.g. free, pay and display, etc.   I want to add a checkbox that will filter the data to only the free car parks, i.e. when it's ...

Hi callum

 

Given that your "Free" column works as intended, you just add it to a slicer-visual and use it as your please. 

 

Let me know if you need any help.

 

Best,

Martin

Thanks for the response. I maybe should have been more specific in my question. By applying the Free column to the slicer I still end up with two checkboxes, labelled true and false. What I'm after is just one single checkbox, labelled something like "Only show free car parks" for example. However if there is no way to do this then I suppose I'll have to make do with your suggestion.

    I'm afraid there isn't any other solution. Not that I know of, at least.

    In this scenario, since you need this "Free" to be a checkbox, I guess you will use this value for filtering/slicing data. However, unless you cascading filter a slicer, you can't remove values from a field populating into a slicer. So I suggest you just put [Type of car park] into a slicer for filtering data, and create a measure to show text like "Only show free car parks" in a Card.
