Excel Slicers are easy to use visual controls added to Excel that allows to quickly and easily filter data in an interactive way by selecting values from a list.

Microsoft Excel sorts slider buttons alphabetically and numerically. Fortunately, you can add a custom sort list to sort the buttons in a more meaningful way, when necessary.

Slicers were first introduced in Excel 2010 and enhanced a lot in Excel 2013. In Excel 2013, if you want to add Slicer to your charts, select the data range and click on insert > Slicer.
