How to gain additional insights by using slicers in Power BI
Power BI Video 4: Slicers
In this video, which is the fourth in an introductory series, we build on what we learned in the three videos and learn how to create slicers in Power BI that will help us gain even more insights. We will go over several ways of creating slicers and see how they can interact with one another to segment the data the way we want it. All this will set us up nicely for the next video in this series where we will look at how to share our completed Power BI report to a larger audience.
