    Slicers for Multiple Results One Source

    I've created a tool to determine specific Census data based on Parish (county), Tract and Block Group. It's goal is to allow a user to select a specific location and know the population, income levels and race/ethnicity demographics. The data set is HUGE. I used slicers to make selections and thought it was working fine but realized later that when using multi-select it wasn't differentiating between selections. Let me see if I can explain. Here is overall look:

    In second picture you can see that I selected Acadia, Tract #960400 Block Group 2. This displays as it should.

    In the third pic you will see that Acadia, 960400 and 961000, 2 and 7 are selected. The problem is that it is showing a total for all of those things at once. I WANT to show only total for Tract#960400, Block Group 2 + Tract#961000, Block Group 7.

    I understand WHY this is happening b/c a filter of a singular data source can only do so much but I'm wondering if there is a simple way to achieve my desired result without creating 100's of data sets with a Slicer from each. This is for the entirety of Louisiana so there are thousands of permutations of Parish(county), Tract, Block Group. I am not a super user and know almost nothing about macros and coding so I was hoping there was a simpler answer.


    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
