Create slicer based on multiple column headers

Hi everyone,

 

Is it possible to create one slicer including several column headers (without unpivoting those columns)? 

For example, if there are four headers, and you want to easily switch between those columns, how can that be done?

 

NPSCESJoyGeneral
86.57.86
76.887
7.7797
668.56.2

Hi @v-xicai ,

 

Thanks for your reply.

At the end, I did unpivot the columns. So, the issue is solved.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You may create a new table via button "Enter data", which contains the column names NPS,  CES,  Joy and General, assuming this new column is named [Column header]. Then create a calculated column to as the source of slicer visual.

 

SelectedColumn=

Var d= SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Column header])

Return

SWITCH(d, "NPS", 'Data'[NPS], "CES", 'Data'[CES], "Joy", 'Data'[Joy], "General", 'Data'[General] )

 

Best Regards,

Amy
