Have you every tried Slicer option in Excel? There are lot many features in excel which go unnoticed even if they are visible
As you know, one of the powerful tool in excel is Pivot table which summarizes your data and we know the drag and drop features of it.
Use Slicer option in Pivot table instead of Report Filter to filter down categories. Slicer works exactly the same way the Report Filter works however, slicer will provide you a front-end UI lists with button click option for easy use. This helps the user to quickly select the required categories just by clicking them, which also looks appealing.
To insert a slicer, execute the following steps.
1. Click any cell inside the pivot table.
2. On the Analyze / Options tab, in the Filter group, click Insert Slicer.
Hold Ctrl button to select multiple categories
Thanks!!!
