Notice that some of the buttons in the slicer are translucent? This means that we do not have any data for the respective fields in our pivot table. By holding the Ctrl button & making multiple selections, we can build customized filter pivot tables. We see that only buy transactions amounting to $1,36,955 were made for Google stock in Portfolio 1000 using the E*trade broker. Now, if you want to check, what was the buy/sell transaction amount for Google in Portfolio 1000 using E*trade as your broker, all you need to do is click on the respective buttons. This is what your spreadsheet will look like: For example, we have chosen the broker, stock, and portfolio number as our three different slicers. You can use multiple slicers by selecting more than one dimension from the Insert slicer dialog box. The default column in slicer is one, but for our dataset, we have added two columns, as shown below:
Click on the Slicer tab, where you will find the buttons section that allows you to change the height & width of the buttons on the slicer while the size sections change the overall dimensions of the slicer.If you have a large number of items in your slicer, you can also change the height and width of the slicer, along with the option to increase the number of columns.Navigate to the Slicer Styles section, where you can change the color of the slicer.Click on the Slicer tab in the list of tabs. For example, if you need to change the color of the slicer: This includes the appearance, color, caption, alignment, etc. Once you insert the slicers, you can customize them as per your requirement. This icon will be represented with a red cross, indicating that it removes the filter from our dataset. If your table consists of a more extensive set of dimensions and you need to clear your entire selections, you can click on the filter icon at the top right of the slicer. For example, we have selected E*trade and TD Ameritrade in our slicer to give our summary table as:
If you wish to choose multiple dimensions simultaneously, simply hold the Ctrl key and click on the buttons that you want your pivot table to display. You will see that the slicer filters the data so that the buy/sell transactions exist in the portfolio only for TD Ameritrade. Now try clicking on one of the buttons in the broker slicer, let's say TD Ameritrade. So this is how your pivot table will look like along with the slicer: Similar to pivot tables, where the table identifies unique items in its row and column-oriented perspective, Slicers list down all the dimensions only once in its box. For example, let's say we select the dimension as a broker. You can choose more than one dimension from all the available dimensions in the dialog box. This opens the Insert Slicer dialog box, where you need to select headers for which you need to create filters.Click on the Insert tab and navigate to the filters section.Add a slicer for the broker and click on the required buttons that you want.Īs we have already covered how filters work in the pivot table guide, we will focus on inserting slicers and how they work in this article.Add broker as a filter for your report in pivot table fields.So now, if you want to filter your data, let's say by broker or portfolio number, you can do this in two different ways. Since our pivot table is now prepared, we can add the slicers to our dataset. Suppose you have the following hypothetical data set spanning thousands of rows below.Ī pivot table is created that shows the summary of Buy/Sell transactions for stocks in each portfolio using different types of brokers. This article will guide you on how you can add this excellent feature to your dataset as well! Slicer - Inserting them in Pivot tables
The yellow-colored boxes are the slicers in the above example.
