Slicers on Matrices with Hierarchy

Capture2.PNG

I have a matrix with row headers with sub categories. Is there a way to use slicers/filters to veiw the subcategories? For example, If I click Heartland on the slicer, I want it to show all of the subcategories only.

Hi @Wi-fi,

Current power bi does not support only show the specific level of hierarchy fields.

You can create an unconnected table with category values and write a measure formula to compare with current items and selections to return flag.

After these steps, you can use it on visual level filter to filter records.
