Linking Slicers to multiple Pivot Tables with External Data Sources

Copper Contributor

I have externalised my data source to improve performance and I have several pivot tables that link to the external excel spreadsheet.  I would like a slicer to link multiple pivot tables but when I use the Report Connections tool the other pivot tables do not appear, even through they have the same filters.  How can I link the Pivot Tables to the Slicer?

Thank you

@Abiola1 Thanks for the link.  Unfortunately my data is in an external workbook so it doesn't work.

 

I have the same problem. Any solution ?
