- Let’s you expand and dig into each level of you hierarchy data.
- Allows you to display a measure value at the lowest level.
- Replaces the idea using multiple regular slicers to represent what the Hierarchy Slicer does.
In this Hierarchy Slicer we’re showing the ability to filter down a product hierarchy.
- Under the Format paintbrush there are a few customization available for the Hierarchy Slicer.
- Under the Selection section you can choose to turn on the ability to multi-select values in the Hierarchy (by default it’s set to single select).
- The Header section allows you to change the slicer Title and adjust other formatting settings of the title.
- The Items section allows you to adjust the formatting of the hierarchy values
In addition to these properties you have a set of settings that appears on every visual to adjust the background color, add a border around the visual and lock the aspect ratio.
