Advocate IIIsync slicers with different formats
Hi all,
I think this kinda of a bug, but I guess it all comes down to how the sync functionality actually works in the background. When sync slicers, I would expect they are "tied" together by the field from which the slicer is constructed, and may be by the type of visual-slicer used to display it. But I'm having trouble with the formatting of the slicers when synchronizing slicers built from the exact same basic slicers visual and using the same field across all of them...
For some pages, I want to display the slicer as a dropdown, and others, as a list. I found just one idea with a single vote on it relating to this issue.
Am I missing something here? May be a setting that disables the synchronizing of format?
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi NAOS ，
Based on my test using power bi desktop version : 2.75.5649.341 64-bit (November 2019).
The formatting of the slicers will be synced as well when synchronizing slicers. Also we can set slicer to dropdown or list separately.
PBIX as attached.

Hi v-frfei-msft ,
I didn't account for the older version I'm running on (April 2019) 😅. I can't check on the latest version right now but it is good enough to me that's working on the latest version 😁
Thanks very much for your help!

One idea maybe. If you have the list on page 1 and the drop down on page 2 you could make a copy of the list from page 1, paste and sync it on page 2 then hide it.
