Dynamically color cell in table based on slicer value

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone ,

I have a requirement as follows :

I have 3 columns containing names .

Column A     Column B     Column C

 Name 1         Name 2         Name 3

 Name 2          Name 1        Name 3

 Name 3          Name 2        Name 1

Now I need to create a report page , which has a slicer and a table visual.

The slicer should contain all the names from Column A , B & C.

Eg : If Name 1 is selected in the slicer, in the table where ever Name 1 appears ( in all 3 columns) , the cell should get highlighted with a colour.

Is this possible to achieve..

Would appreciate any help ... 

Thanks in Advance ..

@truptis Thanks thanks ... I got it 🙂 

One last question ... Can we achieve the same if we use a Text Filter (Search) instead of the Slicer ?

Thanks

@Anonymous , you have got a search option within the slicer. You can use that.

Click on the slicer-> click on the 3 dots-> search

This will give you a search bar on the slicer.

Hi @truptis ,

Thank you so much for the super fast reply ... Yes it does help the part of my requirement which needs the cell to be highlighted.

In addition , I was thinking of combining values from the 3 columns into 1 to put into the slicer. But how do I , on the filter selection, search through the 3 different columns and highlight values in each column where the selected value appears..

Thanks,

SS
