@Anonymous,

You can use Grouping feature in Power BI Desktop to group the data into A,B,C….Z, then you are able to filter data using the group column.

Hi @Anonymous and @AGo,

Thanks for the reply!

@Anonymous,

Import Hierarchyslicer custom visual to Power BI Desktop, then create HierarchySlicer.

Are you meaning you want to filter brands by the first letter?

Yes!

You have to create a new column in the table brands with the LEFT function: LEFT(brand;1) .

And use that column in your filter.
