How to use a Slicer to hide table or entire table columns?

‎08-05-2019 02:15 PM

Hi everyone, 

I'm trying to make table visual that is able to show monthly health information for several services. The underlying excel sheets will contain two months of data. I want to find a way to display only the selected month's (current or previous) information columns. I'd like to either use a slicer to either enable/disable the relevant columns or use two tables, with one being hidden by the use of a slicer. The slicer will be labeled "Previous Month" and "Current Month".

I would like the table views to look like this.

|Service | Health Col 1 (Current Month)| Health Col 2 (Current Month)| | Health Col 3 (Current Month)| 
|Burgers| Good                                      | Bad                                           | Great                                              |
|Fries     | Good                                      | Bad                                           | Great                                              |


|Service | Health Col 1 (Previous Month)| Health Col 2 (Previous Month)| | Health Column 3 (Previous Month)| 
|Burgers| Good                                        | Bad                                            | Great                                              |
|Fries     | Good                                        | Bad                                            | Great                                              |


What would be the best way of achieving this? Thank you!

Hi Parry,

Thank you for the response. I gave it a try, but my version of Power BI doesn't have an ellipses next to the word Color under Background. Is there any other workaround to do what I need?

@Anonymous any reason you cannot upgrade your version to most recent one (July 2019)?
