We have a Pivot Chart in Excel using lots of slicers to filter it. That Chart has Connected to SSAS to show multidimensional Data.
If we want to filter Chart, you Must choose Slicer1 , change its attribute , it will be applied on chart , then Slicer2, Change, Apply , ..... have lots of time consumtion for end user.
How can We select some attributes in more than one slicer and apply it to chart simultaneously؟
Some link like Multislicers Selection
work with flat files but I need it for Charts and SSAS connections
Try using Filters instead of Slicers as they get evaluated together, not individually. Take a look at this 6 WAYS TO IMPROVE THE SPEED OF MICROSOFT POWER PIVOT REPORTS
Alternatively, you can force the connection to be manual only and either trigger by right clicking on the connection and refreshing or with a little script / Refresh button on the screen, however this leads to a less intuitive user interface

I have an issue where I have a power pivot data model with multiple slicers connecting to multiple connected queries. I don't think the actual model is of significance for my problem though.
I use the results of the various pivot tables along with some "getpivotdata" formulas to create som non-pivot tables and charts, which are the ones that the user is to focus on visually. The slicers are situated around and near these focus points.
However, almost always (with a few exceptions I can't fully explain) selecting a value in one of the slicers jumps to one of the pivot tables, usually the one I first connected that slicer to.
I have read a forum about one workaround, cutting and pasting the slicer to a different sheet then cutting and pasting back. This solves the issue for 3-4 selections, but then it reverts back.
Apart from that, all google has helped me do is find ways for the slicer itself not to resize (not my issue).
Does anyone have a valid workaround or fix for this? Of my ides are
have a hidden pivot table somewhere close to focus point that is each slicer's initial table
have the slicer initial table be an olap
some setting I dont know about
Currently I am using a pivot table to display information to users, they can edit the slicers to filter the table with what they want to see. As requirements grow, i find myself adding more and more slicers which take up too much space on the excel sheet.
Is there a way to put the slicers on one single form so that it looks intuitive and is easily navigated?
Best,

I have 2 PivotTables that were created from PowerPivot connections. I would like the second PivotTable to change based on a selection the user makes on the first PivotTable. I have some VBA background, so you don't need to write the whole code but point me to the right functions/structure.
If you use slicers, you can simply link both tables to the same set of slicers. You can even have multiple copies of each slicer.
It's the same in all versions of Excel since 2010. Here's a link.
Edit: Adding information from my comment below here.
You can use this technique even when you're explicitly using a filter on the pivot table, whether by adding a field to the Filters section, or by putting that field on the row/column labels and then limiting the selection based on that row/column header drop down. You can mix and match these as well, with Pivot1 having the field in question in the Filters section, and Pivot2 having the field in the Rows section.
Just create your two pivot tables as normal, and then connect both to the same slicer. This slicer can be hidden on another sheet that is not displayed to the end users. This solution is much more expedient than the VBA solutions I've seen.
I have 6 pivot-charts on many worksheets (each worksheet corresponding to different individuals), all pivot-tables have a Month filter. Instead of clicking on each individual filter to update the pivot-table (and corresponding pivot-chart). Is there a way of creating a 'master' filter button so that all filters are updated?
Let me know if you require further information.
You can accomplish this by using a slicer. Slicers are similar to filters, but look a little different and can be associated with multiple pivot tables. This means you might want to make a "front page" or similar area with the slicer on it so it is obvious that the one slicer controls the month filter for all pivot tables.
You just insert the slicer on the page, then click on Report Connections and connect it to each pivot table.
Within my Excel Spreadsheet I have a PivotTable which is based on data retrieved from a SQL query.
The PivotTable is made up of a series of customers, each with their own stock value.
I made a PivotChart, but as there are many customers, the lines on the Chart are unreadable.
I want to make an individual chart for each customer, however when I filter on one customer, every chart filters on that customer - not allowing me to do one chart for each
Is there a way around this?
After investigation, adding more than one PivotChart distorted the layout of the underlying data.
Therefore it is necessary to read the same data into the Excel spreadsheet twice to have a second PivotChart.
