PowerBI Slider Slicer
Does anyone know how to get rid of the start time and end time tooltip on a slicer in slider mode. My data category is whole number ans there seems to be know tooltip setting to turn it off. I have tried to make a JSON theme to fix this but I have had no success

Hi Jamestoz1010 - In Power BI, when you're using a slicer in slider mode, the tooltip showing the "start time" and "end time" (or min and max values) can be distracting, especially if you're dealing with whole numbers or other types of data where these time-related values aren't relevant.
Unfortunately, there is no direct setting in the slicer itself to disable the tooltip when using the slider mode.
You mentioned that you've tried using a JSON theme. While Power BI's theme settings do not offer full control over slicer tooltips specifically, you can influence some visual properties through themes.If you can switch your slicer from a slider to a dropdown or list slicer
I recommend submitting a feature request to Microsoft Power BI through their Power BI Ideas page
CXP Ideas - Suggest New Idea - URSA
- {"name": "SlicerTemplate","visualStyles": {"slicer": {"*": {"data": [{"mode": "Dropdown"}]}}}}Would this code work?
Your ideas is so great rajendraongole1 and danextian
Hi, Jamestoz1010
I agree with Super user. This shutdown feature is not decentralized. There is also no relevant function to close it in the officially provided theme json schema:
You can download the official json file from the following repository:
If you really need the feature, you should propose it in the Ideas forum, get more votes, which will make it possible to roll it out in the next version.
Super user has already answered your question, and you can mark it back as a solution so that more people know about this piece of information. Your cooperation will contribute to the continuous development of the community. Thank you again!

Hi Jamestoz1010
This has been asked many times. It is a known bug and unfortunately, the answer is no. Alternatively, there is a custom viz with a similar feature - just disable to pro features.
Hi, thanks for the help unfortunatley I have already tried this visual but the clear slicers button does not sync with all the different sliders with this custom visual

Honestly, the tooltip is more of a minor inconvenience than a major issue, so if I were in your position, I would just stick with it and explain the situation to my stakeholders.
