Problem with filter

I created a filter in the desktop it looks fine, as I want it. I want it to be drop down selection.

In the service it becomes a list instead. 

 

What is wrong? and importantly, how do I fix?

Sounds like a bug. Do you have the latest version of PBI Desktop?  Try editing the report online after publishing to see if you can change it online.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.

I seem to be the one with the issue. For another Colleague the filter works fine. Thanks for the input and I will keep an eye on it.
