Universal slicer?
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!
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.
Between that suggestion and this one, there are over 8,000 votes.
And given how easy it should be to implement, I'd think this has to be coming soon.
The backlog in the Ideas forum is just unbelievable!
I've been asking for Collapse/Expand Matrix Buttons since Aug 6, 2015
In contrast count and look at the number of features they released in Feb 2017

If they keep going with this speed... Don't hold your breath!
The other thing that's now badly needed is total overhaul of the Formatting Options
which instead of being in a little column to the right need to be up in the Ribbon as Contextual Menus
Anyway just my 2 cents worth...
