Filter data in a PivotTable
To focus on a smaller portion of a large amount of your PivotTable data for in-depth analysis, you can filter the data. There are several ways to do that. Start by inserting one or more slicers for a quick and effective way to filter your data. Slicers have buttons you can click to filter the data, and they stay visible with your data so you always know what fields are shown or hidden in the filtered PivotTable.
Tip: Now in Excel 2016, you can multi-select slicers by clicking the button on the label as shown above.

Use a report filter to filter items
By using a report filter, you can quickly display a different set of values in the PivotTable. Items you select in the filter are displayed in the PivotTable, and items that are not selected will be hidden. If you want to display filter pages (the set of values that match the selected report filter items) on separate worksheets, you can specify that option.

You can view and interact with PivotTables in Excel Online, which includes some manual filtering and using slicers that were created in the Excel desktop application to filter your data. You won't be able to create new slicers in Excel Online.
To filter your PivotTable data, do one of the following:
-
To apply a manual filter, click the arrow on Row Labels or Column Labels, and then pick the filtering options you want.
-
If your PivotTable has slicers, just click the items you want to show in each slicer.
If you have the Excel desktop application, you can use the Open in Excel button to open the workbook and apply additional filters or create new slicers for your PivotTable data there. Here's how:
