This quick tutorial explains how to link slicer to multiple pivot tables using Java. All the details will be provided to connect a slicer to multiple pivot tables using Java with the help of a given set of steps and IDE settings. Various enhancements will also be shared at the end of the article for improving the given sample code while creating the Excel file.

Steps to Use One Slicer for Multiple Pivot Tables using Java

1. Configure the IDE to use Aspose.Cells for Java to link a slicer
2. Create a workbook, access a worksheet, and add header rows and sample data in it
3. Create the first PivotTable, add it to the worksheet pivot table collection using getPivotTables().add()
4. Configure the above PivotTable and set the row and data fields
5. Create another PivotTale from the above pivot table to share the same data cache
6. Refresh and calculate both the pivot tables to make them ready for the slicer connection
7. Use the getSlicers().add() method for adding a slicer for the first PivotTable
8. Call the addPivotConnection() method for connecting the slicer to the second pivot table
9. Save the resultant workbook with pivot tables and slicer in it

The above-steps summarize how to get a slicer connected to multiple pivot tables using Java. Create a Workbook, access a worksheet, add a sample row and data in it, create a pivot table, and add it to the worksheet. Create the second pivot table from the first pivot table for sharing the common cache, perform the pivot tables calculation and refresh them before adding a slicer connection, add the slicer connection, and save the output Excel file.

Code to Connect One Slicer to Multiple Pivot Tables using Java

This code has demonstrated the usage of Excel slicer for multiple pivot tables using Java. You should refresh the workbook/worksheet whenever possible instead of refreshing the individual pivot tables. Add all the necessary slicer display options by setting the built-in stylus, along with setting the caption, number of columns, row height, and column width.
