Slicer With Selected Terms AND'd Not OR'd
Hello,
I am using Attribute Slicer custom visual but as they said: All selected terms are OR'd together. AND is not an available option currently.
Are there any workaround for these situation ? I am using SSAS live connector. I could use standard slicer or use multiple slicer (put 3 slicer to be and'd), duplicate dimension or different type of relation.
For that example I want to get tweets that contains #SQL and #PowerBi
Thanks,

A slicer is used on a column. E.g., the adventure Works database has a column called category, with possible values bikes, clothing, accessories and categories. If the slicer was a logical and, it would be like saying "show me all products that are both a "Bike" and also "clothing". It is impossible to be both, so a logical and would always return nothing. Given this, I don't understand the use case for a logical and using a slicer on a column.

Thank you for your attention.
There isn't any example of that on AdventureWorks DW. But I can try to explain my use case with twitter dataset used on example of Attribute Slicer Custom Visual.
Hashtags
HashtagKey HashtagText 1 #SQL 2 #PowerBI Tweets
TweetKey Tweet Text 1 #SQL 2016 SP1 is out 2 #PowerBI Desktop November update released 3 #PowerBI on premise only works with #SQL Analysis Service live query for now. IntermediateTable
TweetKey HashtagKey 1 1 2 2 3 1 3 2 If I select single hashtag there is no problem but if I select #SQL and #PowerBI with slicer or attribute slicer I will get all tweets. (1,2,3). But in my case I just want to list only tweet #3 that contains #SQL and #PowerBI together.
Thanks,

You therefore need to write a measure that returns a non blank result when your pattern is matched. In your sample data, something like this
=if(distinctcount(table[hashtagkey])=distinctcount(table[tweetkey]),1)
