Testing if a column is filtered by a slicer

In a DAX measure, is it possible to distinguish between a filter to a column applied by a slicer versus by the field being in the row labels? For instance, if I have a table with values such as

Fruit
Apple
Banana
Orange

And I pivot that dragging the Fruit column into rows ... if I write a calculated field

Code:
=ISFILTERED([Fruit])

This will return True for each row.

I also have a slicer applied to the table on this column, and what I really want to know in my calculated field is whether the slicer is filtered. Is this possible?

Thanks

Don't think so. Dax engine isn't even aware there are slicers, filters, or even a pivot for that matter. It just applies the filtering algorithm per its internal rules. if you have the same column in row and slicer there isn't a way to distinguish that I know of.
