'Select All' doesn't work when filtering a slicer.
All,
I have cobbled something together that addresses this issue for me.
It makes use of HierarchySlicer from DataScenarios which can be downloaded from the Power BI store.
I don't make use of the hierarchy part, but that looks nice too.
There is a Select All, which doesn't actually select all as we know, just like the standard slicer.
But what it does do is let me ctrl click the first selection to unselect it then ctrl click again to reselect it.
When I do that suddenly ALL of the items are ACTUALLY selected and filter my table.
This is different behavior from the standard slicer as I have tried the same thing with it and it doesn't work.
No more individually ctrl clicking dozens of items to select them.
No more hoping MS enables shift clicking to select a range of items.
What would be perfect if clicking Select All did SELECT ALL and not make me do the ctrl click - click step.
Give it a try!
