Multiple columns in slicers without hierarchy

Hello Community,

I have a table of users and I have some columns containing tags for these users created using some criterias. These tags are done on predetermined periods of time meanin a user has one tag per year.

I am looking to put these tags into a slicer, but cannot figure out how to do it when the data is not a hierarchy.

Tags are essentially structured like this:

UserIdTag1Tag2
1HighLow
2MediumMedium
3MediumLow
4HighHigh
5LowHigh



I would like the slicer to behave the same as if it had one of these but with both of them so I don't have to add multiple slicers

When you fold out the slicer it should just have two options:
* Tag1

* Tag2

Hello @BIanon ,

 

You could use field parameters, you add these two fields in a field parameter and you display the value of the parameter in the slicer.

Thank you for your reply.

This gets the structure I want but I am still unable to fold out the fields in the parameter. This way I can choose between the two tags but I cannot choose the actual tags inside of a column.
