Slicer drop down
Hi
I had the same issue, you need to put the header on in the slicer formatting and the option is then available.
That's correct. Go into settings for the visual and make sure the "Header" is On (not to be confused with the Title setting).
Hi,
I have the same problem and hovering over the slicer doesn't show the drop down option.
I have the same issue. I alredy upgraded Power BI Desktop to the latest version 2.74.5619.621 64-bit , and activate the Slicer Header but the problem remains.
I found a workaround, not so elegant but works. The lastes version now allows us to copy a visual from another Power BI file, so I copied a working dorpdown list slicer from another file to the new file where I have the issue. Then, I updated the field info and it worked.
As I said this is just a workaround, the issue still remains if I create a new slicer from visualition panel
Hoper this helps
I've just came across this issue myself today. I'm almost sure this feature was working before?
The dropdown selection appears in edit mode but when in read mode on the service the dropdown to change slicer type is not there? I have slicer header turned on.
Has anyone else came across this?
I just ran into the same issue - working on desktop and can't change my slicer to a dropdown.
