Hi amitchandak,

 

thank you, I tried the hierarchy slicer, but it has one problem: if I select Organization 1, both Site 1 and Site 2 are selected by default (although they are formatted as "single select" and the slicer itself is "single select").

I do not want that. Instead, only Site 1 should be selected.

    Hi janfcarl , amitchandak 

    Sorry to unearth this post after 1 year, have you found a solution for the "Single Select" in a slicer with Hierarchy ?

    My goal is the same as you : I want users to select a single "Project", but for ordering/structural reasons, I have a parent level that is "Client".

    The behavior when clicking on "Client" is that it selects all "Projects" belonging to that client. That's not what I call a "Single selection"! 

     

    How could I still have "ordered" / "in folder" list of Projects in single select mode, without the Client being selectable ?

     

    Thanks

      Astounding there seems to be no solution to something that is quite a common need. I've iterated through every (free) slicer in the marketplace and can't find an ideal solution.

      Using the hierarchicy slicer with a single field and filtering it via a 'parent' slicer does seem to work but it can't be in 'dropdown format', just radio buttons.
