Create Slicers in Alteryx

Hello, 

I have some massive Excel reports and am trying to use Alteryx to create some slicers of the data. How would I go about creating slicers in Alteryx?

 

Thanks!

@dladson I don't believe you will be able to create excel slicers out of Alteryx. 

However, you can leverage filters and summaries to manipulate your data into different categories and groups that make it easier to consume. 

 

If you wanted, you could also build an application using interface tools where you could more dynamically filter your data based on various criteria.

hi @dladson 

 

Using a combination of a Summarize tool and a Filter tool to create a slicer.

 

If you have a workflow to anonymize and upload, can help you more on exactly you're looking for.
