You’ll find slicer styles on the Slicer Tools ribbon, which appears whenever a slicer is selected.
Just click a thumbnail image to apply a style.
Notice each style has a name that appears when you hover with the cursor for a few seconds.
The currently applied style is highlighted with a thick border.
Let’s walk through that process.
I’ll first apply the existing dark orange style.
Notice this style uses a yellow gradient with black text to highlight hovered items.
Let’s make a custom version of the style with a different hover effect.
you might’t modify a built-in style directly.
If I right-tap the style in the menu, Modify is dimmed.
To modify an existing style, first right-click and choose duplicate from the menu.
Then name and apply the style.
Finally, right-click and choose modify.
Slicer styles control five main areas of formatting:
- unselected items, and5.
Hovered items control the look of buttons when a mouse cursor hovers over them.
If I first clear all the hover styles, you might see the yellow gradient effect is gone.
Now I’ll add in a green fill for all hovered items with data.
To apply the custom style to another slicer, just grab the slicer and nudge the style.
Any changes you make to a custom style will automatically apply to all slicers using that style.
