ULTIMATE Personal Budget - struggle adding slicers

Hi,

I've based by personal budget on the "Ultimate Personal Budget" posted by MyOnlineTrainingHub on Youtube, which is a great template. However, I would like to add a slicer on the "Transactions" sheet with "Categories", not only "Sub-Categories". However, if I add a column in the Transactions-table for Categories and use VLOOKUP /XLOOKUP to fetch the information from "Categories" sheet, I get the error stating it is already in the table (or something similar). 

How can I work around this problem? It should be easy to add this slicer, no? I've spent a lot of time with this now, and would greatly appreciate any help.

Hi Hans,

In column H add a heading for 'Category' in cell H15. In cell H16 enter this formula:

=XLOOKUP([@[Sub-category]],TblCategories[Sub-category],TblCategories[Category])

Go to the Table Design tab > Insert Slicer > choose Category field.
