The ULTIMATE Slicer Panel in Power BI

In this video I walk you through how I would build the ultimate slicer panel. I show you how to integrate a bookmark navigator to deal with a large number of slicers and to bring structure. Then I have a closer look at how to visualise the applied filters and how we can highlight the slicers that have a filter in place.

[@rishabhrastogi17]

A bit too expensive for me 🥲but I'm sure its full of awesome content given your KZbin videos are already next level 🙇‍♂

[@sukoi2113]

This is so much fun and next level thing. You are the "Bear Grylls" of Power BI, the way you consume every possible features in it. I bet not even the developer team behind ever thought of these tricks.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thanks Rajneesh :) this means a lot, very happy that you think its good 😊

[@meghanamags9217]

I agree with you Raj

[@kostaszogo21]

This guy deserves more subscribers than Netflix and Disney+ combined... Great video Bas, continue spreading that wisdom!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Ohh :) this made my day thanks a lot!

[@shamf6624]

so true. i am amazed

[@paulgallagher2987]

Thanks as Ever Bas! I've only used the Dax Studio DumpFilters feature for de-bugging before as I found it too cumbersome to use in a report. However I hadn't thought of editing the text and only using the sections I needed to make it production friendly before! This is a great addiiton to my filter panel. I also love how you purposely make common mistakes to re-inforce our learning. Like you did with the 'Data' Bookmark Setting. 👍👍👍

[@RichardOliver]

I love the way you acknowledge the (current) product shortcomings but find a way to work round it. Very creative!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Hey Richard, thanks a lot for this feedback, really appreciate it!

[@peterg4130]

Love the solution to identify which filters are applied. That is such a clutch feature when you have a filter panel that is not visible by default. I was playing around with Option 2 a little bit, and I decided to go with something like this ShowFilters3 = "Filters (" & IF ( ISFILTERED('Data'[Region]), 1, 0) + IF ( ISFILTERED('Data'[Property Type]), 1, 0 ) & ")" If space is an issue, then dropping this measure as "Text" in a Button shows the user how many filters are applied, and they can click the button to show the Filter panel and make any changes.

[@karthikprabhakar2888]

Just falling in love with all the manipulations and how ur fooling with the functionalities to bring the BEST of the BEST, just amazing, Brilliant! 💓💓💓💓💓

[@Vittoria222]

I watched the video and immediately implemented the idea in my Power BI report! Thank you!

[@EduardoCortezOrtega]

The world needs more content creators like you, thanks!

[@ozansen_ozibaba]

This is really high quality video about both design and filter context! As always, Good Job, Dear Bas!

[@hi55us2]

Bas continues to produce the absolute best Power BI content, just can't get enough from it and I thought I knew what I was doing. Keep up the great work!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it! 😎

[@carolpruett9208]

I am looking forward to using Bas' ideas in my slicer panels. This is definitely how to make your slicer panels look sleek while using the space on your report page more efficiently.

[@juliemillerwealthartificer4764]

FANTASTIC!!!! Thank you so much!!! I will definitely use this method going forward.

[@dsswooshy]

Brilliant video thanks. My company uses Qlik and Power BI and well, let's just say as the Power BI developer, being able to develop the filter pane in Power BI is nice.

[@coreyayers3623]

Really Really well done! I am bingeing your videos! Love the easy to understand directions and your focus on things looking nice! Well done keep them coming!

[@andreicostin3]

U`re awesome with these quality videos that u`re still making weekly , love you job and Power Bi skills :D

[@kukeleku13]

Great video! You make it look so easy but it's a really clever solution. Thanks for sharing!

[@crystalcarpenter8310]

Thank you. I'm just learning. I would love to know how to add columns and new calculations like how long something was there in days.

[@shubhamkumarsinha5224]

You made me in love with PBI Dashboard....Just amazing !!!!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Very happy to hear this sarvesh! Thanks a lot!

[@pawepilch2435]

This is so helpful. I spent a couple of hours this week looking for a solution for many slicers and I still didn't have clear idea how to do that. And today you are coming up with this solution. Thank you so much 👌

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Hi Pawel! That’s awesome! Super happy to hear it was helpful 😎 powodzenia! ;)

[@ahmedalkherbi]

Awesome! I learned lots of things. Thank you very much.

You are welcome! Ah thats the voice i hear in my head then ;)

[@kayvonsadrabadi9555]

Thoroughly enjoy your knowledge and enthusiasm. Thank you for what you do! 🙏

[@HowtoPowerBI]

:):) thank you very much!

[@JamesBatchelorGoogleProfile]

Nice! I'm always looking for better ways to deal with this. I'll be glad when either visibility or layer can be set in DAX. No reason to build bookmarks simply to show hide objects. Let me say on off or +1/-1 in layers.

[@anthonymichellier6805]

Wow ! What a masterclass on this topic Bas, thanks a lot 🙏

[@ahmetsuna3216]

Thank you for your effort, your work provides convenience in our business life, you are appreciated 👍👍👌👌

Amazing How to video! Really helped me out clean up my dashboard which contained too much bookmarks... Does unicode table site work? Can't seem to find it.... It's the last bit of the puzzle to ease down all the text

[@k.pratibhareddy8233]

Thank you for the Video. Has been really helpful. But a quick question, I have created the slicer panel as you have created in the video, but the bookmarks don't work as I have created the same slicer panel for multiple pages. It would really nice, if you could give a solution. Thanks!

[@normandass6053]

Fantastic Mate, excited to watch these amazing tricks Much appreciate your sharing :)

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thanks Norman :)

Amazing video, do I need to create the bookmarks for each page? If I copy and Pasten in another page is not working anymore

[@narasimhavenumuddala6669]

Great Video on Slicer's and very useful in Real time. Please let me know if you've any course on Data Science

[@rodolforissato4739]

Como sempre, só material top! Obrigado por compartilhar com a gente!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thanks a lot Rodolfo

[@nidhyyo_O]

Hi Bas, Thank you for the wonderful tips in the custom slicer contents, it is surely helping me in the report designing, But I did has a doubt regarding this, If I am using a text filter to filter my data will I be able to just show the text as the filter in the Filter Header section?

[@jamesabbott3052]

Thanks! I learned quite a bit from this video.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Glad to hear it James, thanks for your support:)

[@sinahag2800]

Hi, any hints how to make the "slider" type of slicer (single select) look better? the circle is to big and almost zero adjustment possible...

[@jimwilder7828]

Awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@SandervanderVelden-ll4wq]

What a great feature in a business who needs a lot of filters! The only problem I am struggling with is how I can use this over multiple tabs? I need the same filters in other tabs as well. Do I need to construct the bookmarks in every new tab? That is now my solution, or can it be done with the options 'Data', 'Display', ''Current visual', etc? And is it correct that if I do clear filters, I still stay in the selected filters (like 'Location')?

[@robinengblom2271]

You sir, just earned a new sub! Your content is so good!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

yey - thanks for the Sub!😊

[@malungosebastiao]

I would like to know how can I add space between Coutry and City when I filter both??

[@leenbemindt4504]

Great video! I like your style :-) I created an amazing slicer panel with your tips, but copying this one to all my other pages in the report seems not so easy:-( Any tips on that?

[@stefancui3093]

The select all option will disappear after you search in a slicer, do you know anyway to fix this?

[@Tyraelxadrias]

Nice Hair Cut Bas! Thanks for the video :)

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Oh wow thx for noticing :)

[@user-vo2pw3xx4q]

very very useful, but for other pages I must create all the slicers panel one more time?

[@MladenDJoleJevtic]

Love the insights and creativity you provide! Thank you very much, you're a great inspiration! One question though: with all the objects in the report just for the slicers (including the DAX behind it which is filtering over tables), when it comes to a larger data model, are there any performance differences - from the initial load to the response time on other visualizations in the page? That's the question it comes to mind as soon as i see multiple objects in the report.

[@Lotaristo]

I wanted to ask the same question, maybe Bas should even make a video with explaining of possible performance issues.

[@abdulrehman56]

Great material ...... lots of appreciation

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thank you Abdul! ☺

[@scramiro1]

What if you have so many more filters? Can you put them in a visual that allows scrolling down all those? Couldn't find anything on KZbin. Thanks

[@dcpowered]

Amazing! Thank you so much, Bas!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thnis Shakeel! :):)

[@jenniferdustin8214]

What would you need to change in the measures to get the filter table to work with a hierarchy based slicer?

[@NeoKnight9]

Do you need to close brackets for RGBA at 31:44 ?

[@AlesKus]

Love those infos!

[@saulkattan6394]

Great video!!! I am trying to get the Clear Filter button background to change color when filters are applied to indicate that is “active”. Have a measure that checks if filters are applied for each of the slicers and if so returns “yellow” if not returns gray. When I try to apply it as conditional formatting it does not allow me to select that measure. Any idea how to accomplish this? Keep up the great work!!!

[@anwaarkhalil868]

Great Video as usual

[@kees1058]

Dag Bas, ik kijk met veel plezier naar je video's. Wat ben jij altijd vrolijk, zeg 😄Weet je ook hoe ik ervoor kan zorgen dat lege rijen worden verwijderd ondanks dat de datum in de eerste kolom staat? Ik wil de weekenden buiten de berekening van het gemiddelde houden.

[@chriskeo392]

Is there a way to pass measure into a parameter for a dynamic query?

[@bessa0]

The best channel! Thank you.

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thank you sooo much :)

[@emilyamalkin4367]

Can you show if it is possible to show the same slicer menus from multiple pages - but without having to creating a separate menu for every page?

[@leleca]

What if there's all visual filters applied and it appears on your "ShowFilters" and you don't want to? Great video, btw! Thanks for sharing.

[@weronikajakubowska2976]

I have a chart with data. There is a slicer for the chart that filters data by date. Can I create a single-selection filter that will automatically be set to the most recent date?

[@sevlasiul1]

Hi! @HowtoPowerBI @all My initial shape just appears solid over the slicers, and not translucent like in you example. Do you have any clue why? Thanks if you can!

[@unnikrishnansanthosh]

Fantastic BAS, this is wonderful

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thanks Santhosh! Much appreciated

[@sumithothuri8604]

How to download r export power bi reports in the same format ( colors, font, header etc ) into Excel ? Is that possible

[@emilyamalkin4367]

Can you please create a video where a dashboard can offer both a relative sliver and a regular “between” sliver on the same column? Somehow it seems like we can only give the user one or the other, but I want to let them use both types of slicers on the same dashboard!

[@WilliamPete]

What is the link to the Unicode tables referenced at 25.49 ? I

[@ceciliaaponte1107]

As an idea, I love the videos and would be very useful to have the part where you show up explaining to be a smaller. I watch the videos at work and some collegues might think I am watching youtube for other things since you are showing up in most of the screen. Making it smaller would be better to not give others a bad impression. Thanks!!

[@HowtoPowerBI]

thx for the feedback :) sticking with this format though

[@Crysteps]

Bas, thank you so much for what you do. I have learned so much about PBI design from you. is your camera background a greenscreen ?

[@HowtoPowerBI]

😃 awesome, great to hear that! Nope, no green screen

[@vanessamondillon6484]

Hi, I tried to used with hidden page … but is not ok … when I go in hidden page with shortcut button the bookmark is reset, you have solution to used with button and hidden page ?

[@kassiowifried]

Good Job, Thank you Very Very much

[@HowtoPowerBI]

You are welcome :)

[@anithapadma1352]

Will it works for multi select option?

[@sandeepchauhan7742]

Hi, when we click on shape which is under slicers, the slicers go away and we need to press esc key in keyboard to get the slicers back. What is the solution to stop this behaviour? Pls reply. Thanks in advance.

[@meghanamags9217]

Hi Mr. Bas, I need one concern how to attend the workshop or courses online PBI pls let me know, Thank you, need help in my project technical way

[@allwindsilva1883]

if i do not use all the slicers then the second option does not show the header titles. Looks like they have to be selected in the order of the Show filter header DAX i.e class name , color name , product subcategory name and so on. if i do not chose color name and filter header names do not show up

[@emilyamalkin4367]

Thank you!

Another amazing video, like it

[@HowtoPowerBI]

Thanks a lot

[@jessicac9596]

Fantastic!😲

[@Max-kn3so]

@How to Power BI Great video but I noticed that the table visualizing the filters doesn't work quite as one would want. It doesn't show the filters used, but rather the values within the filtered column that are still in use. With multiple filters, one filter might exclude values from another filter. Filters like "ranges", "greater than" and "is not" also don't work very with your measures. Do you have a good solution to show chosen filters for "date between X & y", "sales amount is greater than X" or "sales country is not US"? Maybe a good idea for a new video, pretty please!
