This topic in detail analyzes how to use flexpivot slicer with flexpivot.

## Content

FlexPivot control has built-in filtering capacity. However, it is also possible to provide a filtering UI to FlexPivot by adding a new control, known as **FlexPivotSlicer**.

Once the **FlexPivotPanel** control is configured with the data source and field values, the FlexPivotSlicer control can be bound to the same data source to get the desired filtering and slicing capabilities. For details about binding a data source to FlexPivotSlicer, please refer to the [Data Binding](/componentone/docs/win/online-flexpivot/features/flexpivotsliceroverview/databinding) topic in [FlexPivotSlicer](/componentone/docs/win/online-flexpivot/concepts/FlexPivotArchitecture/flexpivotslicer).

The following GIF depicts the working of **FlexPivotSlicer**.

Note that the **FlexPivotSlicer** control can be configured to filter only a unique field. In order to apply filters on multiple fields, you have to add more than one slicer control to the form.
