Insert slicer
I tried to insert slicer to an excel sheet, where i have already inserted 4 more before, but when I click on the slicer button, pops up a window that there's no connection between sheets, or anything. Could you please help why and what should i do?
It sounds like you are encountering an issue where Excel is not recognizing a valid connection for inserting a Slicer in your workbook. Here are the possible reasons and proposed steps to try:
Possible Causes
Slicer Requires a Table or PivotTable
Slicer Is Not Connected to a PivotTable or Table
The PivotTable Is Disconnected From the Data Model
Workbook Corruption
Steps to Try
Make sure your data is a Table (Ctrl + T) or PivotTable.
Ensure the PivotTable is connected to valid data (PivotTable Analyze > Change Data Source).
Check PivotTable Connections (PivotTable Analyze > PivotTable Connections).
Restart Excel and check if the issue persists.
Try inserting a Slicer in a new sheet with a fresh PivotTable.
