Summary

Compact slicers provide a way to include multiple slicers on a report in a minimal amount of space. Compact slicers can be local or global. To create a compact slicer, click Compact Slicer on the Insert tab on the Ribbon. Compact slicers have replaced global filters from earlier releases.

Search Options
