The Timeline Slicer custom visual works quite well. However it is currently pretty much unusable due to its massive space requirements. At the moment one third of the vertical space on my report is taken up with the Timeline Slicer.
I don't know if anyone from the MS custom visuals team is here, but you need to run it past a usability expert. I am unable to leave a review in the store, so here is my feedback.
The problems are:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thank you for the feedback.
We'll consider all of points in upcoming versions.

This slicer would be workable if it would dynamically shrink in width. How hard can this fix be?
Any update on the Size of this slicer. Seems to work really well, but is still enormous. Thanks.
Hello,
No updates for a while.

Hi guys, any update on this? I hate to sound demanding, but what good is a perfectly engineered report if my user keeps complaining of the presentation? I know there are a lot of other important stuff to do, but this is a quick win over a basic functionality that is currently broken, and one with great visibility. As it stands, I can either have one third of my screen real state taken by this visual, or just revert back to the barebones (emphasis on "bare") default data slicer. Please, give this slicer the love it deserves!
I second that! Would love to see the slicer reduced in size so we can use it.
My idea is to go from this monster:
To this (ugly because it was made in Paint, but you get my meaning):
I would love to set inly the labels that are relevant to me:
Yes!
Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks

That is great news! Looking forward to seeing the new changes.
+1 on getting the amount of page real estate used improved for this extremely useful slicer.
Some ideas:
Thanks for ideas guys. We'll consider all of them.

@v-viig Can I ask why this is showing as solved? Just saying "Yeh, we'll look at that at some unknown time in the future" is not a solution.
Chris
Not really sure.
I suggest to create another topic in ideas to track its status.

Do we have any PBI timeline visuals with hour and minutes level? All the timeline slicer are all up to day and above level so far.
Not sure if have any. Please look for such a visual in AppSource.
