Codex Slicer Bar

A horizontal slicer bar for Power BI — several slicers in one compact strip, as chips or dropdown panels, for dashboards where filter real estate is at a premium.

Codex Slicer Bar replaces a stack of individual slicers with a single horizontal row that doubles as the report header. Each section carries its own label and values; a section shows its values inline as chips or collapses into a dropdown panel, and the bar keeps a running count of everything currently filtering.

IDEAL FOR

• Dashboards with several slicers competing for header space
• Report header rows that need to filter as well as title the page
• Mobile and tablet layouts where vertical space is precious
• Pages where users select across many dimensions — region, period, status

KEY FEATURES

• Chips or dropdown panel per section, or Auto — a section switches to a dropdown once it exceeds the visible-chip limit
• Single or multi selection, set for the whole bar or overridden per section
• Click a selected chip to clear it; Clear all resets one section or the whole bar
• Live count of active filters, per section and across the bar
• Dropdown panels fan right, left, up or down — Auto flips them at the viewport edge
• Configurable maximum visible chips and sections, with a "+N more" overflow
• Optional pre-selected default value per section
• Sort order field controls the order sections and chips appear in
• Applies filters through the Power BI filter API; the selection persists into bookmarks
• Configurable chip, label, border and background colours, plus chip transparency
• Full font control on labels and chips, and an optional inline title
• High contrast mode support
• Keyboard focus and keyboard selection support

PRO TIP

Feed the bar from one bridge table: a Category column for the section, a Label column for the chip text, and a Sort order column. Reordering the bar is then a data change, not a redesign.
