I would love to hear more about the smart update bevaviour of slicers mentioned at the end of your post. Does this occur automatically or is there a setting somewhere? I am currently using 9 slicers on a large table (342 columns x 4600 rows). When I click on a slicer button, the filter status at the bottom of the screen indicates that the table is filtered almost immediately, but the status message "running slicer operation.." appears and it takes a minute or more for this to complete. Switching to Excel 2013 64-bit version from 32-bit did not improve the response time. I am running with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on i7-3930K CPU @ 3.2 GHz with 16GB RAM. The machine has a Windows Experience Rating of 7.4 so the machine should not be the issue. Any suggestions?

Im not sure what you mean by linking forward and backward. Can you explain it a bit more? If you mean that autofilter drop downs on a table hide cells that have the value being filtered, then yes.

Question will / can slicers work like pull downs in that the selection can be linked forward/backward to a cell on a sheet?

Hi Chris,

This is something we've thought of doing in the past. Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing - are you looking to search for buttons within a slicer?

Any chance Slicers will ever have a search feature?
