Distinguish used slicers : color or bold ?

Hello!

 

I need to build a report with more than 20 slicers (dropdown slicers). To make it more visible for the user, how can I make the used slicers appear in color? Or bold?

The other option would be to list all the used filters in a separate pane. Is this possible? If yes, how can I do it?

 

Thank you!

Hi @Tizzy83 
I know when there are mulitple slicer available so users missed the slected valued like which values are already selected and want to see the selected values.
For every filter/slicer selection you have to create seperate measure. check the video below

take the all the measures in tables. As soon as you select the slicer values value will be displayed in the tables.

I tried this fnctionlity it worked perfect for me.

 

I hope I answered your question!

Hi @Tizzy83 
You cant make the selected value bold in slicer but you can make it highlight by using tile type option instead of list / dropdown menu.

In tile option whatever users select it displayed in diferent color.

Thanks a lot. Unfortunately each slicer has too much values, "Tile" is not an option in this case 😕

HellO @Tizzy83 ,

 

if you want you can add them all in the filter pane on the page level.

Thank a lot but it is not an option unfortunately. 

I am talking about the dropdown slicers : users have to be able to use these ones. 

As they are used to Qlikview, they want the same options (if possible..)
