How To Add Slider In Power Bi

Adding a Slider in Power BI

Power BI does not have a built-in slider visual, but you can use a slicer to create a similar effect. Here’s how you can add a slider-like behavior in Power BI using a slicer:

1. Open your Power BI report in Power BI Desktop.
2. Select the field or column that you want to use for your slicer. This can be a numeric column or a date column.
3. In the “Visualizations” pane, click on the “Slicer” icon to add a slicer visual to your report.
4. Configure the slicer by dragging the field or column you selected in step 2 into the “Values” section of the slicer settings.
5. Customize the appearance of the slicer by adjusting the formatting options such as font size, color, and layout.
6. Apply any additional filters or interactions between the slicer and other visualizations in your report as needed.
7. Preview and save your changes. The slicer will now behave like a slider, allowing users to select a range or specific values based on the field or column you selected.

Here’s an example to illustrate how a slicer can be used as a slider in Power BI:

In this example, we have added a slicer based on a numeric “Sales” column. Users can drag the slider handles to select a specific range of sales values, and the other visualizations in the report will update accordingly.
