Hi!
My report has a bunch of slicers at the top and they look kind of like this:
The user sees headers and choose which slicers they need to apply. The dropdown then briefly overlaps with the visuals beneath it and after choosing the necessary slicers, the end user sees visuals without any problem.
However, I am trying to save space. Each slicer essentially takes up two lines. There is the header and the slicer itself. Is there a way to make it more efficient? I am thinking of including the header in the slicer like this:
This would take up half as much space in my dashboard. Is something like this achievable? Maybe there are custom visuals that offer this?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @arca123
Have you considered Bookmarks to hide the slicers all together within a button.
Then they appear on a panel when the user clicks the button.

Hi @arca123
If you want to save space try belowslicer for free.
1. walnut slicer
2. Filter by powerviz
It saves lots of space bcz when you click on it ,it options will pop up so just column name will be enough to add on the page.
like this
and last but not least you can hide you slicer using bookmark feature. check this video for better understanding how to create slicer panel.

I hope I answered your question!
Or stick a text box on it, as long as they can still see the down arrow...
