Slicers connected to multiple pivot tables

[SJ-NY]

I tried connecting the same splicer(s) to multiple pivot tables using the same source data. After I added a new pivot table and having the new pivot table selected, I went to the Slicer icon dropdown and was going to select "Slicer connections", but it is grayed out.

Is there a step that I missed?

Thanks

Try it form
Tab Slicer Tools --> Options --> PivotTable Connections
and then make your connection

All I see is the "Insert slicer " icon. I do not see "Tab slicer Tool"
Thanks

Maybe the forest is blocking the trees but only the drop down box appears, there is no visable tab

 

[Yahya]

are you using Excel 2007

Do you already have a slicer set up in the workbook?

 

[SJ-NY]

Yes, I already have a slicer setup on the worksheet

Curious. What if you select the Slicer and choose PivotTable connections on the SlicerTools-Options tab?

I just went to the help menu and saw the slicer tab you all are refering to. This is not appearing on my screen, I geuss I need to determine why this is not happening
