Button Slicer - Apply Settings to a Specific Button
In Power BI, we now have a new button slicer build where you can create a button slicer.
When we use a value (status, for example) in this button slicer and go to Format options, we have the option to select a specific button to apply formatting to it specifically.
However, regardless of the field used in this slicer, only "All" appears for editing, when I would like to edit each button individually. For example, I want to increase the size and modify the color of only the "Status 4" button.
But, only "All" appears for editing.
How can I do this? Is it a Power BI limitation, or is there any way to unlock this option?
Hi Davidalla ,
The Button slicer does not work like the cards where you define for each values what you want to highlight in the button slicer you can only define the action of the button itself and in a specific state because you are not interacting with the data, this visual is only used to filter out information and not to give you results in the visual itself so the options are different.
You can setup different color using condittional formatting but not the size of the text for example.

I see this is marked as "solved" - but I don't understand the solution. Are we saying that the drop-down is there, but does not actually do anything, and will always say "All" in it? Why would Microsoft include a drop-down that does nothing?
