POWER USER PRO TIP

Configuring Slicers & Timelines

I love slicers and timelines because they sound complex and tend to impress people more than they should. The thing is, a slicer is just a fancier version of a basic filter, and a timeline is just a slicer designed to work with dates.

In this tip, we’ll practice inserting slicers and timelines and linking them to multiple pivots to create a user-friendly way to interact with a sample of Olympic athletes.

COMMON USE CASES:

  • Adding user-friendly, visual filters to reports built from PivotTables
  • Using slicers to clearly and visually indicate how a table is being filtered
