How do I format the size of horizontal slicer buttons?

Hi there guys/girls,

 

Is there a way to format the horizontal slicer buttons size? The default is to big for my report and is taking unnecessary space. Can somebody throw me a bone out here?

 

Thanx for sharing the knowledge!

Stumbled across an option that seems to be working for me. With slicer selected:

General

Properties

Advanced Options

Responsive - turn this option off

 

I'm able to make the buttons much smaller after doing that. So far, so good.

Hi @afhlmd,

 

There's a fixed minimum size of the horizontal slicer. If you reduce the size below that, it gives you a scroll.

 

Best Regards

@afhlmd if you change the size of the visual, buttons of the slicer auto adjust, i think that is the only option for you to see what visual size works best for you.

Thanx for the contact @parry2k !

I already tried that but it didn´t work as i´d like to. It appears that it has a fixed minimum size and when I resize the visual it creates a scroll arrow instead of reducing the buttons.

I´ll try to find an add-in that serves me in that way

 

Have a good day @parry2k !

 

I'm having the same issue. Slicer button height doesn't appear to be user adjustable. Say what?

... and I thought I was good at searching.  I didn't yet find an answer to this, I feel like I must be blind.  Feels like this functionality can't be missing.
