frame multiple slicer visuals

[Anonymous]

Hey all,

I would like to set a frame around two slicers, to express that they belong together. I want to avoid a frame bar between these two slicers. 

Therefore my idea was to put a text field over the two slicers, keep it empty and just apply the frame.

However, now it's not possible any more to use the slicers, since clicks are applied to the text field, not the slicers.

Do you have another solution in mind?

Hi @Anonymous 

Insert a rectangle shape (Insert>>Shapes>>Rectangle) then, from the Format sub menu, select 'Send to back'.

Make sure the size of your slicers matches up perfectly with the size of the shape.

Your slicers will sit in front of the shape so any clicks will be applied to the slicer, not the shape.

Best regards,
Martyn

After applying the rectangle, I would group it with the two slicers, to create a group named object. This will be easier to work with and move, as well as prioritize together in the selection panel. I have had to do these many times for data card and action button groups as part of a form on my dashboards.
