    Hi hanyuwang,

     

    2 questions/suggestions to look at

     

    1. After publishing have you clicked the refresh button (sometimes the reports are cached in your browser and so don't update to the new report that has been published automatically.

     

     

    2. Do you have any bookmarks set up that effect that slicer? If you have the display/data ticks and you've set up some bookmarks that effect that slicer then it's possible it will try to revert it to the same type you had it set when the bookmark was established.

     

    Let me know if it helps.

I have the same issue and tried to clear any bookmarks and to refresh the app, but it still doesn't work. I didn't have this issue before. This is definitely a bug. 

The range slicer looks fine in the PBI Desktop and in the report published to a workspace. 

 

 

 

But the range slicer suddenly changed to a list in the app.

    The accepted solution did not solve my issues with slicers chaning upon publishing either. Even more odd, after chaning the slicer type in service and saving, they still revert back to drop downs...
