Create Power BI Card Visuals That Act As Slicers Using New Slicer Visual

Learn how to set-up the Power BI Button Slicer to look and feel like a card visual that also acts as a slicer!
There are often situations when you might want to display a row or column of card visuals that each show a filtered value within a category. For example, you might want to show 4 cards each displaying the number of backlog work orders for safety, environmental, production and routine work orders respectively.
In this situation, it also makes sense to be able to click on the card and filter the visuals on the dashboard by the category the card is showing filtering the values for. It just makes sense to be able to do this from a user experience and user interface point of view.
In this video, I'll explain how the new slicer visual can be set-up to mimic the look and feel of a simple card visual while also providing the functionality to click on the "cards" and filter the other dashboard visuals.
The key to this is a simple option that is offered by the new slicer button visual in Power BI. Check out the video to find out exactly how it's done.
