Filter using a single Slicer for multiple columns

[OmarSaleh]

Can we add a Slicer (dropdown list) to filter visualizaion result based on 2 or more differnet coloumns? 

The source sheet is like below screenshot. Each call could be done for 1, 2, or 3 different products. We need to use one slicer to filter the calls that have been done for a specific product whether it's in Prodcut, Product2, or Product3 column. 

Any idea?

HI @OmarSaleh,

I agree with Greg's suggestion, you can do unpivot on your product fields to convert them to attributes and values. Then you can use value as source of the slicer to filter all the product fields.

@OmarSaleh It would be recommended to unpivot your product columns. If for some reason you cannot do that, then you could create a Complex Selector. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/The-Complex-Selector/m-p/1116633#M534

Hey @OmarSaleh ,

absolutely, you can add multiple columns to a slicer. Then the slicer is building a hierarchy.

Check the documentation on how to do that:
