Excell Woes

[popmech1]

I'm a new member to the site and need some help with a few things. I am relatively new to excel and thought that this might be a good place to start. I have made a set of pivot tables and want one slicer to control them both, I have tried using the pivot table connections option that is available when you right click on the slicer. I've also tried to do it from the insert slicer option in pivot table options. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Can I get some help in understanding why excel is doing this to me and how I can fix it? Thank you in advance for your help.
