Hi @dongchen ,

 

According to your needs, first change the slicer to list format, and then change it to horizontal format in Format->General->Orientation. Refer to the following:

@dongchen , to me, seems like Slicer(list) with Horizontal orientation.

Tried this approach. 

 

The `date` I used has Date Hierarchy. I created two Slicer Visual and put `Year` in Date hierarchy in one visual and `Month` in Date hierarchy in the other Visual. 

For the `month` in the other Visual, I got this. It looks good, but when I click on one month in this Visual, I am not sure if the `toggle` effect is there. It means it toggles on the month and use that month as a single value filter. And the `format` on this visual is possible to set to the `horizontal`.

However, in this `Year` Visual, there is no option to set the `Horizontal` in format - General field. 

Also, it didn't feel right to me. That's not a `toggle`. That's a year range selector.  Maybe its value is a number?

This solution feels right but actually not there yet from an implementation perspecive

Need more advice. 

 

 

 

@dongchen , Prefer to use columns than hierarchy.

Year, first change to list and then try

 

You can do single and multi select same as list box

Thank you for helping.

When you say `list`, do you mean define `Year` column to a `Data type` or `Data Category` or something else?
