Make Radio Button functionality in Chiclet Slicer

I have the below chiclet slicer in my report to select the week days in it. As of now, we are able to select multiple values, however I am looking for a option to select only one day like a radio buttons. 

 

How to do it ? Please help.

 

  • Anonymous  You should be able to format the visual by selecting the slicer, then click the format painter icon and expand the "General" section. Turn Multiple Selection to 'off'. This won't give you radio buttons, but forces single select.

     

    If you want radio buttons, you can use the built in slicer and turn single select to 'on':

      Even with the multiple selection set to off it is possible to select multiple items when using the CTRL key. There is a bug in the Chiclet slicer.

        Een_Steen  yes, you are right, users can use Ctrl key to multi select. This is not a bug, just limitation of chiclet slicers. Built in slicer has a single select option which we can set to on, as I explained in my post above this will give radio buttons and force single select. Turning multi select off just forces single select when ctrl is not used.
