Hello,

i am trying to get the SlicerState from a Tuple-Slicer so that i can store the user-selection.

when child elements are selected and also top/fahter-level elements (check screenshot) the powerbi-client will thrown an error.

i am not able to read the current slicer state, what can i do/try?

Hi @Muesli

Looks like the native hierarchy slicer is not supported for use with 'GetSlicerState' yet.

I am not aware of any workaround - so you might have to settle for another slicer type.
Cheers, Matt

For some reason, it does return tuple in rare occassion. But this is not consistent, usually it throws the error...

Below is the result of getSlicerState() that I sometimes get...

state: { filters: [ {"$schema":"http://powerbi.com/product/schema#tuple","filterType":6,"operator":"In","target":[{"column":"FinancialYear","table":"Fact_TransactionLines"},{"column":"FinancialYearPeriod","table":"Fact_TransactionLines"}],"values":[[{"value":"2021"},{"value":"2021-P01"}],[{"value":"2021"},{"value":"2021-P02"}]]} ], targets: [ {"column":"FinancialYear","table":"Fact_TransactionLines"} ] },

I'm getting the same error "get and set slicer state are not supported for hierarchy slicer".
PowerBI still doesn't have a workaround?

Nope. The latest news I got a few weeks ago from the Power BI support team: it is on the backlog of the product team, but no ETA can be given... 🙂
