Currently, my 4 slicers are Rank1,Rank2,Rank3,Rank4,, i am trying to combine these 4 slicers in 1 , named student name so when we select name of student, the whole dashboard is refreshed.

  • If I understand your requirement correctly the best approach is probably to unpivot the data so that you have a table with subject, rank and person.

    eg.

    Subjects Rank Person
    English Rank1 John
    English Rank2 Clara
    English Rank3 Rey
    English Rank4 Rey
    Maths Rank1 Peter
    Maths Rank2 Roy
    Maths Rank3 Noah
    Maths Rank4  
    Science Rank1 Mark
    Science Rank2 Jezz
    Science Rank3 Jezz
    Science Rank4 Peyer

        You can still do that using a matrix with the unpivoted data

  • Your requirements are really unclear, so I don't know if this is what you are after. But I just unpivoted your example data and then created a matrix with subject on rows, rank on the columns and the name in the values
