Data Menu – Use Of Slicers in Google Sheets

Slicers are a feature in Google Sheets that allow you to filter data in a pivot table or data range by using a graphical interface. Slicers provide a way to quickly filter data and view specific subsets of data without having to manually adjust the filter criteria.

Here's how to use slicers in Google Sheets:

1. Create a pivot table or select a data range that you want to filter.
2. Go to "Data" > "Slicer".
3. In the "Slicer" dialog box, select the column or columns that you want to use as slicers.
4. Click "OK" to create the slicer.
5. The slicer will appear on the sheet and you can use it to filter the data in your pivot table or data range.
6. To use the slicer, simply click on one or more items in the slicer. The data in your pivot table or data range will be filtered to only show the selected items.
7. To clear the filter, simply click on the "Clear filter" button in the slicer.

By using slicers, you can make it easy to filter and view specific subsets of data in your pivot tables and data ranges, without having to manually adjust the filter criteria. This can save time and make it easier to explore and understand your data.
