As has been partly implemented with Filters, it would be very useful to have slicers that could apply to all pages of a report. This would allow users to interact more easily.

The most exciting news so far this year! In the February release of Power BI Desktop we've shipped the ability to synchronize slicers on different pages in your report! You can read more about how the feature works here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-february-2018-feature-summary/#syncSlicers Thanks again for everyone's feedback and votes on this feature. We do listen to you so keep voting and let us know what other things you need us to prioritize.

RE: Allows Slicers to apply to all Pages of a Report

I've got a page with a slicer and another page with the same slicer, I want to keep the selection of the slicer in page 1 and see the same in page 2
thanks

Slicer interaction with other reports page make more sense and user friendly.

Not having this is negatively impacting the data story we want to tell our users.

This is extremely important for a true self-serve BI solution aimed at mobile Execs and other 'consumers' of my dashboards and reports

RE: Allows Slicers to apply to all Pages of a Report

'+1 for me .. i would also like to link slicers on each page. a change on slicers on page 1 (background, titel etc) should have an effect on each slicer on each page. But only for linked objects

RE: Allows Slicers to apply to all Pages of a Report

To design reports for small form factor devices (phone) slicers are hard to use. I envision a multipage report where the first couple of pages simply have a report level slicers that help narrow down your field of interest before you get to the pages of data

RE: Allows Slicers to apply to all Pages of a Report

This is required because it allows for better data analysis. For example, on page one I might have location based information. I might apply some filters and that will narrow down my report to certain locations. Page 2 might have product specific information. I may further narrow down the product categories based on what I chose in location on page 1. This sort of linking is important because otherwise I need to repeat slicers on each page which becomes repetitive.

RE: Allows Slicers to apply to all Pages of a Report

It definitely makes sense to keep that topic open. :) Slicer are used totally different than report-filters.

RE: Allows Slicers to apply to all Pages of a Report

I updated the status since users are asking for slicers which will apply across all pages and not just report level filters.

From Bryan Campbell - REPOST: LISTED AS COMPLETED, BUT SOLUTION WAS INCOMPLETE. NEED FOR A SLICER ON SHEET ONE TO SERVE ALL SHEETS WITHIN A REPORT SIMILAR TO EXCEL SLICER WORKING ON MULTI WORKSHEETS.

RE: Allows Slicers to apply to all Pages of a Report

I do not believe that this is completed. The look and feel of slicers on a page is much nicer and more user friendly than using the filters. Excel has the ability to apply slicers to selected Power Pivot charts on multiple pages. We would like that functionality here.
