Filtering table rows based on slicer values
I'm using a slicer to slice my table based on value on column A. I have a sliced table and now column B has only values x and y (other values got sliced out).
Now, I aim to create a table visualization that displays all rows from the original table where the column B value is either x or y.
How could I achieve this?
Hi jayn123
Is this your desired output:
If so, you can achieve by doing something like as in attached file, with the help of table transformations and then relationships. Its functionality shall depend on your actual data, I usually seldom go this way, reason is if, we follow a dimensional design, most reports are achieved in a much simpler manner. But occassionaly we may have to somehow achieve the result, then attached is just one of the way.

Slicers are designed to filter your data and hence your visuals. You want to show the opposite (things that are left after the filter). This article I wrote a few years ago is not exactly what you need, but it may help you

I'm sorry, perhaps I mis-phrased myself. I don't want to show whats left out of slicer. I wanna filter/re-slice based on the results of the original slicing.
I have table:
A | B | C
1 x i8
1 y i12
2 z i102 q i41
2 x i99
3 y i88
If I slice A=1, I get B values x and y. Now I wan't to filter/re-slice by B values x and y, so that I have following rows as result:A | B | C
1 x i8
1 y i122 x i99
3 y i88Then add a second slicer for column B
