When changing the slicer from "All" to a specific selection, it changes both tables that are on the same page. I would like it to only filter through the top Data Description table. Show Here are some screenshots to better describe what I'm referring to: the first picture has the slicer on "All" When choosing a selection, both tables are being filtered instead of just the top table. Thanks for your help
When I drop a new visual to page where I already have slicers they all are applied to that visual. Now I don't want that to be the case because I will use a different data source but I find it very difficult to remove these filters: https://imgur.com/MzYK7Ht I realized that you have the edit interaction tool under the format tab but even though I uncheck all other slicers and visuals but the filter just don't go away. Is there a way to add a "clean" visual to a page? Thanks I have three tooltips quite close together explaining some features to the user. But when hovering over them the filters icon appears showing users what filters and slicers are affecting the visual. This just gets in the way though when trying to hover over the tooltips. Is there a way to disable this feature? Thanks!
APPLIES TO: ✔️ Power BI Desktop ✔️ Power BI service Suppose you want your report readers to be able to look at overall sales metrics, but also highlight performance for individual district managers and different time frames. You could create separate reports or comparative charts. You could add filters in the Filters pane. Or you could use slicers. Slicers are another way of filtering. They narrow the portion of the dataset that is shown in the other report visualizations. This article walks through creating and formatting a basic slicer, using the free Retail Analysis Sample. It also covers controlling which visuals are affected by a slicer, syncing with slicers on other pages, and filtering and formatting slicers. These other articles explain how to make specific types of slicers: When to use a slicerSlicers are a great choice when you want to:
Power BI slicers don't support:

This slicer filters data by district manager. If you want to follow along with this procedure, download the Retail Analysis Sample PBIX file.
This slicer filters data by district manager. If you want to follow along with this procedure, use the built-in Retail Analysis Sample.
By default, slicers on report pages affect all the other visualizations on that page, including each other. As you choose values in the list and date slicers that you just created, notice the effects on the other visualizations. The filtered data is an intersection of the values selected in both slicers. Use visual interactions to exclude some page visualizations from being affected by others. On the Overview page, the Total Sales Variance by FiscalMonth and District Manager chart shows overall comparative data for district managers by month, which is information that you want to keep visible. Use visual interactions to keep slicer selections from filtering this chart.
For more information about editing interactions, see Change how visuals interact in a Power BI report. Sync and use slicers on other pagesYou can sync a slicer and use it on any or all pages in a report. In the current report, the District Monthly Sales page has a District Manager (or DM) slicer, but what if we also wanted that slicer on the New Stores page? The New Stores page has a slicer, but it provides only Store Name information. With the Sync slicers pane, you can sync the District Manager slicer to these pages, so that slicer selections on any page affect visualizations on all three pages.
You can also sync two or more separate slicers. Syncing slicers is useful when working with composite models, as you might want to make the same selection across sources without relying on cross-source group relationships. To sync two or more separate slicers, you mark them as being part of a group.
Filtering slicersYou can apply visual-level filters to slicers to reduce the list of values that are displayed in the slicer. For example you might filter out blank values from a list slicer, or filter out certain dates from a range slicer. When you filter the slicer, it only affects the values that are shown in the slicer, not the filter that the slicer applies to other visuals when you make a selection. For example, let's say you apply a filter to a range slicer to only show certain dates. The selection on the slicer will only show the first and last dates from that range, but you would still see other dates in your other visuals. Once you change the selected range in the slicer, you'll see the other visuals update. Clearing the slicer would show all the dates again. For more information on visual-level filters, see Filter types. Format slicersDifferent formatting options are available, depending on the slicer type. By using Horizontal orientation, Responsive layout, and Effects coloring, you can produce buttons or tiles rather than standard list items, and make slicer items resize to fit different screen sizes and layouts.
