In some tables there's no data for a given product. How to not show this product in the slicer? Something like Excel's 'hide values with no data'

Hi Raza,
I have power query table called "tbl_1".
I need to have another table called "tbl_2" sourcing data at "tbl_1" step no. 4.
There are other steps also after step#4. I don't want to duplicate table because it was decrease its efficiency. How can it be achieved without duplicating table?
