    Hi wcarter,

     

    this is a known quirk/bug in the Button (Grid) slicer, you can raise a ticket with microsoft as mentioned by lbendlin, there are few alternatives which you can go for

     

    1. Opt for list slicers instead of buttons
    2. Increase button height/ width manually
    3. Reduce font Size
    4. Shorten lables for e.g. Average Performance Score to Avg Performance
    5. If your data allows use linebreaks for e.g. 
      Label =
      SUBSTITUTE([Original Text], " ", UNICHAR(10))
    6. Use chicklet slicer (free from custom visuals)
    7. Use buttons as bookmarks

    Out of these best is to use Chicklet slicer, but you can make the changes as per your requirement

5 didn't work unfortunately, I've had to size down the text. I opened a ticket with MS about it, hopefully it'll get put on a list to fix.
