Power bi slicer checkbox color

Here we will see how to change the color of the selected item in the power bi slicer.

• Currently, we cannot change the color of the selected items, in the power bi default slicer.
• Instead of default slicer, you can use the custom visual i.e. Chicklet visual, which is versatile.
• And also it allows lots of customization of the slicer buttons including setting images, changing selected item color etc.

Power bi slicer checkbox filter

Here we will see how to filter data by using the power bi slicer checkbox in the power bi desktop.

• We have four columns Category 1, category 2, category 3, and Qty in the sample data.
• Then we will create slicer table by using dax, which contain a column Called Status( yes or no).
• Next we will create a measure that calculate number of events.
• We will create slicer checkbox by adding status, when we check the box next to the yes, it will filter the data and show number of events.
• Similarly when we check the box next to the no, it will filter the data and show number of events.
• In the below screenshot you can see the sample table i have used.

• Load the sample data in power bi desktop.
• Then we will create a slicer table. To create slicer table, Click on the Modelling -> New table.
• Then write the Dax formula is:

Table 2 = UNION(ROW("Status","Yes"),ROW("Status","No"))

• Select the table(original table), click on the new measure from the ribbon.
• The measure is:

No of Event = 
VAR _Checkbox =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 2'[Status] )
VAR _YES =
    SUMX (
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Category1] = "A"
                && 'Table'[Category2] = "BB"
                && 'Table'[Category3] = "Event1"
        ),
        'Table'[QTY]
    )
VAR _NO =
    SUM ( 'Table'[QTY] )
RETURN
    IF (
        HASONEFILTER ( 'Table 2'[Status] ),
        IF ( _Checkbox = "Yes", _YES, _NO ),
        ""
    )

• Select the slicer from the Power bi visualization.
• In the field, drag and drop the status from the Table2 in the field pane.

• Now build a card visual to show the measure result.
• By default it will show blank in card visual, when we check the box next to No, it will show sum of QTY in the card visual.
• When we check the box, next to Yes, it will show the filtered by Filter1(Category 1 = “A”), Filter2(Category2= “BB”) and filter3(Category3= “Event1”).
• In the below screenshot, you can see when we select the check the box No in power bi slicer.
