Hello All, 

Suppose that I have a calendar table in Power Pivot or Power Query. I want to get some pivot table from this table but since I have many years data in this table. I want to have slicers get to get Top N number first and then get specified year in another slicer for pivot table.

For instance, I have 1, 2, 3 on 'TopN' slicer and if I pick 1, it will show 2022 on 'Year' slicer and if I pick 2, it will show 2022 and 2021 on 'Year' slicer. I have studied the video on this but it seems doesn't work.

Hello Mynda,

Thanks a lot. I tried to understand the method. There is small issue. I wish I can have 'Year' Slicer too so when I select 2, I can have only 2022 & 2021 shown only so that I still can slice the data by 2022 or 2021 respectively.

You can't do this with this technique. If you add a filter (Slicer) for the year it will override the filter on the 'Include Years' column in the PivotTable, breaking the Top n Years filter.
