Combining filters in to single filter groups

Hello, I am trying to combine these filters Picture1 in to sort of groups since some of them belong in same categorys. Example Christmas Card and Christmas Party & Gifting would be together in one filter named Christmas or Christmas cards same would go for Easter ones and other ones. At the end I should have just Christmas,Easter, Fathers Day what would be combinations of two similar slicers. My question is how do I archieve that do I have to use custom colums for that? Since I am using live data set is it doable using measure or custom column is only way? Thank you.Picture1.PNG

Hi @Justas4478 ,

Just like the below,But you need to configure it from the source, because you are using live connection:

Create a new column to intercept the first space:

And final get :

Wish it is helpful for you!

 

Best Regards

@Justas4478 , As far as I know, a custom column is the only way. As you are using the live connection, you have to do it at the source. Split the column by space and keep first occurrence

If I do that would the new after spliting column example Christmas filter. Would it get the data that was relating to Christmas Card and Christmas Party & Gifting?
