How to get the dropdown orientation slicer setting style option for json theme

Hey there, with the new slicer settings - does anyone have the json file term to get the "dropdown" orientation (vs "vertical")?

 

Thanks!

Hi  @andy808 ,

 

After you click 'reset to default' in the format pane, you can try the following Json:

{

"name": "Custom Theme",

         "visualStyles": {

                 "slicer": {

              "*": {

                "data": [{

                                            "mode": "Dropdown"

                                                    }]

              }

        }

    }

}

 

There are also some related values:

  • "VerticalList"
  • "HorizontalList"
  • "Between"
  • "Before"
  • "After"
  • "Basic"
  • "Dropdown"
  • "Relative"
  • "Single"
  • "RelativeTime"

I have another challenge.

 

I created 2 measures:

# of Paid Days = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(ASTimeEntry[TimeRecordedOnDate]),(FILTER('Date Table','Date Table'[IsWeekend] = False ))) + 0
 
Sum of Tracked Hours = SUM(ASTimeEntry[TrackedHours]) +0
 
To get a %, divided them:
Total Paid Hours % = [Sum of Tracked Hours] / [Total Paid Hours]
 
When I slice for 1 person it works (eg 100%). When I use it for the whole team (5 people) - it ADDS the %s (eg 500%). How do I average this %? Average FXN doesnt work, divide FXN by # of people doesnt work. Or is there a completely different formula I need to create?  HELP!

@Anonymous ,  Do you know of a way it can be set up without having to select "reset to default"  seems kind of cumbersome for end users.  Thanks
