Can slicer work as filter in Power Bi desktop?
Hi @sandeshsk ,
How do you want to use it?
ADVANTAGES OF USING A FILTER
– It can be applied on different levels: Report, Page and Visual.
– A filter can be applied to a specific object on the page, such as tables, charts or cards.
– It can be applied between pages of the same report.
– A filter can be used to reference objects across other reports.
ADVANTAGES OF USING A SLICER
– A slicer is user friendly; they are displayed on the canvas.
– Report users can pick and choose what they want displayed in the visuals.
– Even though slicers are restricted to a report page, you can add slicers to several pages and synchronize their actions across those same pages.
Best Regards,
