How to filter for multiple things in a table at once?
Hi AmyYang
yes, there is a more comfortable way.
Convert the list of countries into a formatted table: menue "Start | Format as Table"
Then insert a slicer: menu "Insert | Slicer"
As the table has got only one column, select the country-field for the Slicer.
The Slicer is always visible and you can move it around. If you hold the Ctrl-key, then you can select several countries.
Alternatively, activate the multi-select option and you can also select multiple entries without pressing Ctrl-key:

- Dear DTE,
Thanks so much for your reply and detailed response on instructions for using this! I just tried it and it works great!
If I had to select 25 different countries though, I guess the only limitation is that I still need to select all the countries from the list, it wouldn't be able to automatically select and filter it. But I think that's okay given still much faster than typing it manually one-by-one! 🙂
Thank you,
Amy
