    Yepp, I can confirm that - only does what it says on the tin if force selection is switched on.

Hi _onto_ ,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

Thank you kpost for the prompt response.

You are absolutely right - the "Single Select" option alone doesn’t strictly enforce single selection, especially when using Ctrl+Click. It only limits default click behavior to one item.

Toggling "Force Selection" to On ensures that:

Only one item is always selected.Ctrl+Click and clearing selections are blocked.The slicer behaves as a true radio-button style control.

Glad it worked for you - it's a small setting, but it makes a big difference in how the button slicer behaves.

Thank you.
