Universal slicer?
Have you tried the Report level filters?
Yes, but that's not something a user can modify. But you're right in the sense that what I need is a way to make a user-controllable slicer work at the report level. If there's a way to do that, I haven't found it.
Yes I know exacxtly what you mean! :smileyhappy:
Having the functionality you describe will free up space on your subsequent pages
and you'll be able to include more Visuals/Charts, etc... instead of having to waste space repeating all Slicers again!
I've been waiting for this too.
I'd like to have a main page which stored slicers to apply at report level, thus giving end user the knowledge that what they are looking at is filtered correctly across all pages without the need to remember to change.
we currently have to work around this by creating a couple of calculate columns to store items like "Current Month", "Current Year" etc... based on the current date and position of the month so we can preset the report level filters to "Current Month" for financial data so they don't need to move onto the correct period each time they view. Obviously this doesn't cover everything...
Exactly, not to mention forcing the user to have to set the slicers all over again every time they want to see a different subset of the data. If I'm a user, I assume that my filters would carry over to the new page. Its got to be confusing to see that they don't, and a little annoying to have to re-enter them again and again.
not sure if this is the main idea floating around, it seems to have been around for a while.
