Hi @adaoui ,
Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community,
As mentioned by @danextian , the new Button Slicer visual is still in preview, and some features may not function as expected across Power BI Desktop and the Service.
A known issue regarding the differing behavior between Power BI Desktop and the Service has already been identified, and the product team is actively working on a resolution.


Known Issue Description: "Power BI Customers using New Card & Button Slicer visuals may experience issues with callout values formatting by turning on in service after publishing even set it as turn off in PBI Desktop."

 

At this time, there’s no definitive workaround except manually adjusting the settings in the Service after publishing.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while the Microsoft team works to resolve this.

Please reach out for further assistance.

hi @danextian , Thanks for your answer.

It seems that in this case, it is a regression (in my opinion). do you know if i have to report this issue somewhere else ?

The new button slicer visual is still in preview, so some features may be available in Power BI Desktop but not in the service, and vice versa. Bugs or unexpected behavior may also occur.
