Select many items from slicer

Is there a way that end user can select multiple items from a slicer without selecting them one by one? Imagine the end user needs to select 100 IDs from a slicer which have 10,000 IDs. The idea is not to search and select all 100 IDs one by one within that slicer.

Hi @milad_bahari ,

Please try the following methods and check if they can solve your problem:

1.Select many items by holding down the Ctrl key.

2.Try to use the advanced filter options in the slicer.

Thanks for the reply, but IDs doesn't have any pattern so categorization is not gonna work.

The best solution is to have this on the ETL/table end. Place Categories and/or subcategories that group the IDs by the method required for the end user. Then, have a different slicer for Category or Subcategory to select the groups. 

 

There is no easy way to multi-select in the default slicer with a search field.
