Two Ways to Create Single Value Input Slicers in Power BI!
Learn about two techniques for creating a single value input Slicer in Power BI Desktop!
The first method will apply a technique outlined in a SQLBI article (link below) that uses Tabular Editor to allow native columns (fields) to be modified to allow single value slicer types to be used with them. One consideration is that this technique is not officially supported by Microsoft.
The second method shows you an officially supported method for adding a single value input slicer. This alternative way implements a WhatIf parameter and leverages some clever DAX and relationships to achieve the same result.

GUEST BIO 👤
In 2015, after having spent over ten years as a Software Developer and Architect with Microsoft technologies, Mathias Thierbach moved into the Microsoft BI space. He soon landed on Power BI, but also realized quickly that the development and engineering tools and practices were nothing like the ones well established in software development. This is how pbi-tools started as a project, filling this gap in tooling. Today, leading a growing data management team at YouGov, he experiences the benefits of those efforts every day. Having open sourced the project in fall of 2021, Mathias spends a lot of his free time bringing those practices to the wider Power BI community now.
