Numeric range slicer

[ashwinibh]

Hi,

The May release of power BI desktop dashboard shows the Numeric range slicer on app.powerbi.com correctly.

But the November release makes it a checkbox list when opened on pp.powerbi.com .

It works in desktop for both may and nov release though. 

Has anything changed in this preview feature? 

Regards,

Ashwini

Hi @ashwinibh,

The same issue has been reported before: CRI 36809152.

This is the information from PG team:

When you create a slicer on a field, the type of the field decided what type/mode of the slicer it should be. Unless the user explicitly sets the mode of the slicer, we do not persist any mode. So when you turn on the preview feature in desktop and create a slicer on numeric field, it will default to a between mode but this mode will not be persisted since it is not explicitly set. There is no control for preview features on service. Hence on service when this slicer is rendered, with no persisted mode, it will render it in list view. This behavior is by design. Once the preview feature is removed, it will default to between mode on service as well.

Till then the workaround is to explicitly set the mode before publishing. (Change to some other mode and change back to between).

Regards
