    I have a large set of options from which I would like to pick some specific ones and use them in a slicer to filter my data.
    Currently, this is not possible while it is an implemented feature for other chart types.
    I'm currently using a 100% stacked column chart as a workaround.

    I'm happy to say this is now complete! In the June 2019 release of Power BI Desktop you'll see you can set visual level filters on slicers. There's one known issue where applying a measure filter to a slicer in range mode causes the visual to show an error. We'll release a fix in an interim update before the July release. Thanks for your patience and your votes, everyone!

    very needed creates a lot of seemingly unnecessary labor to get around this seemingly simple solution. Though I have a feeling for Microsoft it is harder than it would seem.

    Our slicer is full of unnecessary data without this function, unusable, please do some development!

    I support the request. This functionality is very necessary for those of us who migrate our Excel reports to Power BI

    To make this feature really powerful, please also add the ability to add a measure as a visual level filter just like can be done for regular visuals and charts.

    RE: Visual level filtering in slicers

    Very much needed feature. I am using Direct Query mode and hence cannot make a workaround of calculated Table. Another workaround of hiding a slicer behind another slicer works if u know what values need to be selected. But for me i need TOP 10 values, displayed in Slicer which is dynamic and in direct Query.

    It will be good to connect a slicer with a visual and display the values in that visual, an another Idea.

    RE: Visual level filtering in slicers

    Hi,
    Would be great if we could filter slicers with measures as well.

    test = COUNT ( 'test'[test] )

    Then put the "test" measure in visual filter and say you only want to show >= 1
