Excel slicer connections won't display all pivot tables


I am using power query to get my tables from an external workbook. When I create a slicer for one of my pivot tables the other pivot tables don't show up in the pivottable connection. I want to have one slicer for multiple pivot tables and I am not sure why the pivot tables isn't showing up. Any help would be awesome!


Solution

  • A slicer can only connect to a pivot table that uses the same pivot cache. Chances are that if you don't see the other pivot tables in the slicer connection, they are using a different pivot cache.

    If you use Power Query to get the data, make sure that you add the query to the workbook data model. Pivot tables that are created from the data model will share the same pivot cache.
