Question about slicers.
bolabuga yep, you can do this directly with a custom visual the "Chiclet Slicer" There have been some great modifications to the OTB slicers, but I can't recall testing to see if an image works as a slicer in them yet...
bolabuga Maybe I mis-understood the question.. If you are asking if a slicer can effect a different "Image" visual then absolutely. Add the Image URL into your dataset (model) - and change the data category type to "Image URL"
Then you can add that to table visuals, but my favorite for this purpose is the custom visual "Image Viewer"
Essentially, add the Image URL (make sure its in on a web server or somewhere online that the PBI Service can access the image). to your dataset, and it works just like any other data element in terms of slicing and filtering.
