Hierarchy Slicer - Unexpected Error
- 9 years ago
All,
I have submitted a new version for approval that fixes the 'unexpected error' and after approval it will be available asap.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks, JP
Hi, I have not yet a tutorial or any docs regarding, but its is a good point: I will update it this weekend.
The hierachy levels (columns) that should be ignored need to be formatted as an empty/blank value in the source. IF that is the case, then the option 'Empty Leafs' will not show those level values.

Hi Jan. Works perfectly here :smileyhappy:
I just played around with the possibilities and have a bit of feedback. I often work with an organizational hierarchy where ragged hierarchies are very nice to have, but I have the employees in each department in another table and would really like to be able add them to the hierarchy – I am able to do this, but when turning “Empty Leafs” off all employees belonging to an empty leaf are not shown. What I am doing are the following:
Table “Employees”:
Dep num: Name:
1 Jan
2 Martin
2 Anders
Table “Organization”:
Dep num: Org Level 1 Org Level 2
1 Sales
2 Sales EU
Where Dep num is used to link the two.
With “Empty Leafs” turn on this shows as:
Sales – (Blank) – Jan
Sales – EU – Martin
Sales – EU – Andres
With “Empty Leafs” turn off it becomes:
Sales
Sales – EU – Martin
Sales – EU – Andres
It would be really nice if it could remove the blanks but show “Jan”, at the level where he belongs:
Sales – Jan
Sales – EU – Martin
Sales – EU – Andres
Not a deal breaker as I can probably merge the two tables to get a similar behavior, but if it was part of the visual it would be really nice J

Hi, thanks for the feedback.
And this scenario is indeed not supported with the ragged hierarchies option I use, but it is an interesting one.
I will put it on my backlog.
Thanks, JP

Any update on the resolution of this error? We use hierarchy slicers on almost every page of our reports since we report on multiple hierarchies. Making changes in Power BI Desktop is frustrating. Thank you!
