How to keep slicer visible?
I have built a dashboard with several pages that are set up the same way. On one of them, the year filter/slicer disappears when you click on the pie chart that the slicer is connected to. I have tried sending the pie chart to the back and the slicer to the front, but it still happens. I built the other slicers/pie charts the same way and it does not happen with the others.
Any ideas for how I can get the slicer to stay visible while the pie chart is selected?
For reference, the problem is on page five of the Power BI project on this page: https://www.como.gov/sustainability/
This is how the page is supposed to look, and how it works before clicking on a slice of the pie.Once selecting a section of the pie chart, the year filter disappears.
I did figure out how to fix it- I shrunk the pie charts so that the edge of the filer is just barely to the right of the pie chart. I don't know why bringing the filter forward didn't work. I have used this project for a couple of years, and I think this issue just popped up and I'm not sure why. But for now this is working!

Hi,
Check the format ribbon, click on the slicer and then bring the slicer to the front:
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍
Try the following:
(A) You can turn off the background on your pie chart under Format>General>Effects>Background. This way it'll be transparent and the slicer will always show.
(B) Ensure the layer order of the slicer is above the pie chart
