The users can add a further dimension to the created view using the ***Slicer*** option.

* Drag and drop one dimension and one measure to the ***Dimensions/ Measures*** column using the Design tab.
* Drag and drop another dimension to the ***Slicer*** section (E.g., Team is used as a slicer over here).
* The slices get displayed in the created view based on the second-dimension value via a ***Mixed chart*** (by default).

* Order the displayed data sorting it by specific ***limit*** and ***order***. You can also select a ***Style*** to display the data differently.
* The displayed view gets modified accordingly and gets sliced based on the set order and limit. E.g., The below-given image displays 9 records of Skill-wise sum of experience for  various teams in the Descending order.

* *The Slicer supports the selection of only one dimension and one measure in the **Dimensions/Measures** space. Another dimension should be added to the ‘**Slicer’** spac&#x65;**.***
* *The **Manual Sort** order option does not get supported by the **Slicer** functionality.*
