How to expand the full text of a slicer value

[Anonymous]

Hi Community,

I am writing this post hoping someone has previous experience with this issue, because I can't find it anywhere on the internet when I try to look it up. 

The report I'm building has many filters, so end users can select their respective department and regions. the names of the department levels can get very long at times, and users have issues selecting the right filters because they can't read the full name in the filter. 

here's an example of what users see when they select their region or department:

I want to be able to have the slicer itself to stay the same size because I dont have enough room to make it as long as the text, it would take up a third of the whole page if not more. I want to expand the full text in the slicer when users are selecting filters. Is this possible? it seems reasonable yet I haven't found anyone with the same problem. 

Any tips are welcome! 

Best regards

Robin

Hi @Anonymous ,

Slicers do not support line breaks.

If possible, please submit an idea and vote on it.

Thank you for the input. I solved my issue by adding the search bar on the slicer, so the report user can type in their department or region. Furthermore i made the slicer values smaller. This works for now.

How did you add the search bar?

Nevermind, I figured it out.

Don't use slicers. Use the Filter pane.

Thank you for the tip, unfortunately that is not an applicable solution for this case, as the slicers need to be selected by the end user in the published version.
