Allows Slicers to apply to all Pages of a Report

[tas_ranson]

As has been partly implemented with Filters, it would be very useful to have slicers that could apply to all pages of a report. This would allow users to interact more easily.

Feature of using same filter/slicers over multiple page would be really helpful for all of us. Also this functionality will support Power BI to grow users across various fields and organizations.

Would be a great added feature. Right now I use 'Manage Relationships' and unique dashboard visuals for different user groups so when a user clicks into their visual, it will open the appropriate page in the linked report. I could better manage my 'real estate' with a total report slice.

PLEASE!

My use of this would be that our company has 400+ locations. The reporting often includes the location with the data. If the user only had to specify one time what location s/he is wanting to review and that filter apply to the data they want to see that would be helpful. But it would be best if user could save their filters/slicers so they always default to the 1-5 locations they view the most. With so many users RLS doesn't work because they still have multiple locations and we don't allow them to save their reports just to save their filter/slicer. This is a final consideration if we will implement/purchase PowerBI or use something that would have this feature.

This will be much appreciated thx!!

The team is looking at the best way to implement this; but to set expectations haven't started development yet.

I'd like to echo that this would be really useful. I've got nearly 50 academic programs and the more pages I add, the more I really want a slicer that impacts all pages in a report.

I do suspect it's hard to figure out a simple way to implement. That said, this is a really useful feature idea. Like many here, I have a a bunch of tabs on many reports which are different data angles/takes on the same selections and having multi-page slicers or however you end up thinking about it--will be extremely useful.

From a design perspective, I would suggest a way to group pages together. Basically a way to say "These pages all share the same filter criteria." Right click page tab -> "Add to shared filter group", pops up dialog, let's you select one and only one group (or add a new named group). Maybe color the page tabs the same color for each group, or put in parenthesis "Page Name (Group Name)" in the tab(or probably both). I.e. if you group pages 1 2 and 4 together, under group name "for City/Month" then you'd see tabs: Sales (for City/Month) | Commissions | Turnover Rates (for City/Month) | Warehouse Stock (for City/Month) So in this example I probably have a City and a Month slicer on the first page. So I've given my group an informative name so the user is aware they share the same filter. Here the second tab isn't assigned to a group, so it doesn't show the group name. When you create a Group name you can pick a color. So a group is just a name and a color, and all the tabs in that group are effected by all slicers across the pages. Probably include a checkbox for "Hide group name" if someone doesn't feel like they can give it an informative name. Also, please include support for SSAS Dimensional models when you implement this.

Please implement asap. Disappointing that I have to tell managers that they have to select the same slicer criteria for every page they want to see.
