Thanks JimJam, I was hoping their might be a way to approach this using DAX in PowerPivot and some related tables, but I'm finding that to be a dead-end as well. I'll award points and let you know if I run into any trouble making an ActiveX ListBox solution.

Hi Experts,<br />
I'm using an OLAP Slicer connected to PowerPivot in Excel 2013 and would like to know if there is a way to to do the following with the slicer without resorting to an ActiveX ListBox VBA Solution.<br />
<br />
1. Have custom sliceritems in the Slicer as opposed to representing all of the unique values in the column of data<br />
2. Have the Slicer function on the text filtering functionality of &quot;contains&quot;<br />
<br />
I am trying to get around a problem where I would have to concatenate values across 6 columns of repeating data and results in some 100 possible concatenated sliceritems permutations.

Hi Experts,

2. Have the Slicer function on the text filtering functionality of "contains"

I am trying to get around a problem where I would have to concatenate values across 6 columns of repeating data and results in some 100 possible concatenated sliceritems permutations.

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Microsoft Excel

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

VB Script

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Visual Basic Classic

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
