Multi-dimensional Slicer

The Multi-Dimensional Slicer allows users to filter dashboard data using a hierarchy of multiple attributes. The slicer displays a tree-style list with expandable levels, offering a structured way to slice data across dimensions.

Example

In this example, we have a multi-dimensional slicer that is bound to the Year and Quarter columns. Column Chart article.

In the example, we:

1. Dragged the Year and the Quarter data attributes to the data binding tab.
