How to split out same column into two slicers (with pic)
HI,
I have a value in my query called input user.
Some of these users are internal and some are external. They are stored together in the database.
In power BI im trying to figure out how to split these out into two slicers. So my end users can pick from either list and get what they want. I can't seem to be able to filter them out so that when u filter one it doesn't effec the other.
I added the same column in my query but that didn't work
How can I split out the same value into tow different slicers?

Maybe try adding the column twice to your query.
The SQL might look like SELECT inputuser AS ExternalUser, inputuser AS InternalUser ........
Then you can two columns in your table that you can link to individual slicers.

The easiest way to do this although you probably may not like it is with the Hierarchy Slicer
Where you can open either Internal or External and select!
Give it a try :smileyhappy: - otherwise you'll need to create another table - Slicer Table

Hope this helps.
Good Luck! :smileyhappy:
