Combined Booleans In Slicer

Hello,

 

I have rows from a table that I want to filter in Report based on if they are labeled as Rejected/Reloads/Restarts.  I envision this as a box with each of them listed, where you can check off which ones you want filtered (checkmark = true).  It doesn't seem like you can combine them in a slicer, and I can only do them individually as True/False.  Is there a way I can get them listed together instead?

    Creating a new column (not measure) may help in your case but generally combining fields in one slicer is not supported on PowerBI.

     

    New Column = IF(Sheet1[Rejected] = TRUE(), "Rejected", IF(Sheet1[Month] = TRUE(), "Reload" etc
     
    Instead of IF statement you can also use SWITCH function
     
    Then add this new column as a slicer

      Thanks themistoklis, that was exactly what I needed!

       

      To clarify, I had three seperate boolean columns, and I wanted the option to which ones I wanted to filter in one slicer.  So creating that combining column allowed me to do that, thanks again!
