Multi Select with Surface Pro Pen

Hello,

One of my end users enjoys consuming his reports with his Surface Pro in Tablet Mode (therefore without the detachable keyboard).
He has problems with multi select (which is normally achieved by holding CTRL and clicking on the datapoints of interest).

He asked me if there is a way to achieve multi selection using his surface pen.
After a brief research, I could not find anything relevant.

Am I missing something here or it is not possible to multi select with touch inputs?

Hi , @gellmann94 

Is multiple selection required on slicer?If it is,please close the options"Multi -select with CTRL" in slicer "format" pane.

In this way, you don't need to press ctrl for multi-select operation on slicer.

If not(such as : multiple selection  on bar chart) ,I could not find any  useful  information .

 

Here are  some  posts and articles. Hope it will be  helpful for you.
