Hierarchy slicer long text strings

I have a slicer containing a hierarchy made up of multiple long text strings. When the user selectes a low level, the slicer looks ugly as it is trying to display all levels at once.
Is there a way I can make my slicer only display the lowest selected level ?

Hi @BIanon

You can refer to the following solutions

1.Create a separate slicer for each level, as shown in the following picture

2.Use the field paramater

(1) Create the field paramater

(2) Then create a new slicer, and put the paramater to the field, and set' show values of selected field'

Did you ever find a solution for this?  I am facing the same issue but don't want to create seperate slicer for each level as suggusted as that would make the visual very busy.
