    What version of Power BI you are using? Try updating you Power BI version.

    I can see the orientation option at my end as follows:

    Anonymous there is a bug and here is a workaround, if you start slicer with a number field, you will not see this option to change to horizontal.

     

    - create a slicer

    - add non numeric column (text column) as a slicer (it is a temporary)

    - change orientation to horizontal

    - now replace column in the slicer the column you actually want, even if it is a number and that will get you going.

     

    I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!

    Anonymous  on format page, under general tab, you have the option to change the orientation to Horizontal, I think that is what you are looking for. If not provide more details.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Under Format options --> Orientation

    You can also try some custom visual based slicers like Chiclet Slicer.
