    maybe you dont have enable the "header" in the slicer visual. Try to turn on the option "header" and then you will see the "orientation"

Hi,

 

Maybe you are selecting a table or matrix visual instead of slicer visual

 

1. Select slicer visual and then move the colum that you have the names to filter

 

 

2. Then you need to edit the propierties of the slice in general and change orientation from vertical to horizontal. it is the part that yo can't see but maybe is because you are not selecting a slicer visual

 

 

 

3. Then go to "items" and change the font and background of the bottoms

 

 

 

4. Then modified the size of the slicer visual.

 

 

hope help you
