Help with Slicers

[sc_1991]

Hi, I have recently developed a dashboard that gives us general information about the vehicles that we have. I am trying to introduce a slicer on the page where I want it to perform a different operation when I select the options. 

Let me explain, there are several issues with the OBD faults that occur some of them just happen due to a servicing accident like someone accidentally unplugging the harness and some are genuine. 

So we have a way of classifying them we call the faults that occur due to some service events as non-engine related and the one that happens due to the engine as engine related. 

Now what I want is  to do something like have a slicer with just two options 

- exclude non-engine related

- exclude unclassified (the one which is not yet assigned the category as engine or non-engine related) 

Now, if the user selects the first option the data should filter out all the non-engine related events and just show engine related faults data and when he unchecks, it should give him all the data for non- engine related as well as engine related faults. 

And if he unchecks the exclude unclassified and exclude non-engine then he should be able to see all the data. i.e non-engine, engine and unclassified. 

I know it can be made easy by using three options but my requirements is to make this slicer with just two options.

Any ideas on how I should approach this?

Thanks

If I understnad your problem correctly, your table has a category for type of ODB issue, namely every row is categorized as either engine, non-engine, or classified?

if so, then you have 3 categories.  But you don't want to have a simple slicer based on that column that gives you the 3 options to filter on any of the above 3?  If that's the case, then maybe a column that builds off of this category, like:

if it's engine or unclassified then it's "A (named something you want for A)".  This gives you a collapse of those 2 values.  

you can set other combinations to abstract the 3 values into 2 based on your desire, and then use that column as your slicer.

Personally, I would just use all 3 in 1 slicer and hold down the control key to select multiples and that way you can filter any different way you want, but that's just me.
