Hierarchy slicer dropdown formatting

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to make a hierarchy slicer and hide the empty members so only parent filters with children filters have the little arrow next to them to drop-down. I figured out how to do this in Hierarchy Slicer visual rather than a normal Slicer visual.

 

However, I want the Hierarchy Slicer to appear as a drop-down menu to select from, rather than a list (see images for what it currently looks like, and what I want it to look like). I haven't been able to find any tutorials on this. Please help!

 

This hierarchy slicer needs to be condensed down into a drop-down menu rather than a list.This is the normal slicer I have, and how I want the hierarchy slicer to look .

    Hi sknudson ,

    If you want to have the drop down slicer, select the visual-> on the top right corner you will see a small arrow -> click on that arrow -> select Drop down

      Hi truptis 

       

      Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that works for Hierarchy Slicers. There is no arrow to select between list or drop down like a normal slicer. 

       

       

      I chose Hierarchy Slicer instead of a normal slicer because I can hide the empty members.

      This is unique to Hierarchy Slicer visuals.

      Would you alternatively know how to hide empty members of a normal slicer? I haven't been able to find the same options (see image of regular slicer formatting options).

        sknudson , you that arrow drop down, you need to turn ON the "slicer header"

        Currently in the screenshot provided by you it is OFF.

         

        So, turn it on & then you will see that small drop down arrow. Then select Drop down.

         

        Mark it as a solution & hit the thumbs up if it helps you. Thanks.
