How to exclude some values from a slicer?

Hello, I am using a slicer with takes a column of strings, some values in this colomn don't contain a value, I don't want to delete these records as its row has another useful data, how can I exclude those empty values from the slicer (as in the screenshot), maybe using a measure?, any help?

@ibrahimsharaf Oh man, this one is a sore point with me. "Before" the June update, all you had to do was change the visual to a table and filter out any of the values, then change it back to a slicer and the filter would be respected. For some reason (unknown to me) they removed this work around and haven't yet provided a filter option for the slicer.

At this point, I don't see a way to do this simply. 😞

Just wanted to add to this that the workaround works again! You can change it to a table and select which ones and then change it back to a slicer.

@Anonymous - they added in the functionality directly to the slicer now. You don't need to switch from table to slicer, you can just add a filter to a slicer like all the other visuals.
