Slicer
Hello
I would like to have all of the below product types in my slicer so i can check waste volumes by product type, in a graph.
Something is not working though and i think it is because of the sum sign next to each name below?
Please can you support,
Thank you
Jerry
Hello,
You won't be able to simply drag the fields into a slicer to have them be selectable. What I would do is create a table in your model that lists your product types. Go to your Relationships view in your model file. On the Home tab, click Enter Data (in External Data section). then manually input the product types you want in your slicer. You can name your column "Product Types". Click Load, this will create your table. You'll also need to link it up to the main table that'll have these product types. After creating the relationship, you will be able to drag this column into a slicer. It'd look something like this:
jhaldane as AlexisOlson mention, unpivot your data and then set the relationship between two tables.
Unpivot is easy, selected first two columns and then choose "unpivot other columns", you will get two columns "Attribute" and "Value", rename those columns whatever you want and go from there.

Hiya
The information is waste data.
So Paper and how many tons were generated in each month
Similairy Metal and how much was generated each month
Ive done the table, but, when
- i select product data type and
- i select what year
- Nothing appears on my graph :-)
