Slicers will help you:

1. Filter many parameters in Pivot table or in Pivot chart without manual changing of Pivot table fields
2. Control several Pivot tables/Pivot charts from one slicer
3. Have opportunity to very fast re-customize view of data in your Pivot tables/Pivot charts

You have several slicers for one huge Pivot table with many initial datas.

It is really super feature, that can help you increase convenience of using of Pivot table/Pivot chart

I don't know about slicers for tables. I used it only for Pivot tables

Let's use this enhancement request both for tables and pivot tables. I don't know if/how much they differ, if anyone has details, do chime in.
Comment 9 Rafael Lima 2020-06-17 21:38:25 UTC
It is important to add the slicer functionality not only for Pivot Tables, but also for user-defined tables on a single spreadsheet. It would work as a simplified filtering functionality, making the spreadsheet more dynamic.

Today LO Calc can't import .xlsx files that contain slicers on tables.

Maybe the slicer functionality would entail the development of other features such as "Format as Table" (similar to MS Excel).

I believe the implementation of slicers for tables is much simpler that on Pivot Tables.

On tables it would function as a simplified filtering device. In my opinion, the workflow could be as follows:
1 - The user selects a range containing a table (with column headers) and define it as being a table (hence the "Format as Table")
2 - On the "Data" tab, a button "Insert Slicer" would appear if the spreadsheet has a table
3 - The user would be able to insert Slicers for the columns he/she desires
4 - The slicer would contain buttons with each single value in that column; then the user would be able to filter the table by clicking these buttons

I uploaded an image slicer_calc.png to give an idea of what I am talking about.
