    Until this matter is fixed by PBI team, you could action as follows in Desktop:

    1. Select Dropdown on your slicer
    2. Create new bookmark of the page with this dropdown slicer

    3. Replace old bookmark with a new one and adjust the setting of all your images, shapes etc linked to the old bookmark

    Otherwise, it would seem PBI published report picks up the original version of the slicer with the List rather then Dropdown

    Hope this helps

Goodness I can't believe this is 4 years old and still happening!

 

And by the way this isn't solved.

The solution provided is a workaround but it's happening to me in a sheet that doesn't have any bookmark.

Microsoft has to step up their game here. I'm seeing more and more issues that just shouldn't happen.

    Absolutely... updating the bookmark did not work for me, which is frankly quite annoying...
