Power BI - Slicer select Drop-Down or List Missing

In Power BI, I created a Slicer. The Slicer is a list of departments. I tried to click the down-arrow to change the slicer to a dropdown but that option is not there. List is not there either. Instead, I get an error "This setting has moved. To change the slicker style, select Format >Slicer settings > Options > Style." So I went to Format, but Slicer settings is not there. How do I fix my slicer to allow for a drop-down menu?

  • Hi, so you dont see this? Slicer settings -Style? Under style are all the options

     

  • Here's the screenshot from June 2023 version of Power BI wherein both Vertical List and Dropdown optons are available in Slicer settings

      This is it! They really should update their warning of how to update it. It's June 2023 and it still shows to go to a menu that doesn't exist.

      I am not seeing the same thing as yours. I see the Slicer settings but I don't see the Options. Please see the screenshot.

        Hello,

        I feel that you have selected the new Button Slicer. Instead , select the normal slicer as shown below :

      I do not see the dropdown option either... and I am a Microsoft Power BI license holding and I have an E3 subscription to MS 365

  • Installing the latest version of Power BI desktop might help

  • Hi, have this problem been solved? I have the same case where 'Slicer settings' is not available and wonder where I can find it? Thanks
