Excel VBA - pivot tables videos | Excel VBA Part 51.7 - Pivot Table Slicers

Posted by Andrew Gould on 15 December 2016


Slicers provide an interesting way to apply filters to pivot tables. This video explains how to write VBA code to create a slicer cache and a slicer, along with how to change the slicer's position and dimensions. You'll learn how to use a slicer to filter a pivot table and how to connect a slicer to multiple pivot tables to enable filtering of multiple pivots with a single slicer.

See our full range of VBA training resources, or test your knowledge of VBA with one of our VBA skills assessment tests.
