Date slicer to list slicer

‎10-16-2018 08:00 AM

Hello everyone,

 

I haven't used Power BI in some months and I just updated it to the last version.

I have a table with a Period column. This is a Date column with the first date of each month (1/1/2018, 1/2/2018, 1/3/2018).

 

Now I want to make a LIST slicer of that column. I can't find the option to make that and Power BI just puts it as a date slicer. I recall being able to select Horizontal or Vertical selection among other options of List slicers some time ago... Help please?

 

Thanks in advance!
