Slicer's title on the left

Hello guys,

 

Any trick to have the title on slicers, especially when we choose dropdown, to be on the left side ?

So like this slicer :

I would like the word "Type" to be on its leftmost, not the top. 

 

Thanks,

Hi, @VoltesDev 

 

Unfortunately, this is by design. Power BI is now unable to achieve what you need . You can submit an idea for it at https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums and wait for users with the same needs as you to vote for you to help make it happen as soon as possible.

Might be obvious, but you could turn the header off and put a separate text header as a workaround. Once grouped it won't really function any differently will it.

I am not sure what you are looking for but you could turn off the Slicer Header and turn on the Title. The Title can be aligned Left, Right or Center, but unfortunately your drop down will still remain the same. Snag_11b56eb7.png

Hi @Oana 

 

No, I understand about the alignment, but what I need is the title is on the left of the control it self.

Somethin like this perhaps :

It is usefull when you want to put the slicers horizontally with other slicers but within narrow space like a title ribbon bar for instance.

 

Currently I have to add Text box for the title just like what @amitchandak  mentioned.

 

Thanks

@VoltesDev , I think you want the name and the slicer, I doubt that. Disable title and then add name using a text box on left. group them together if needed

Hi @amitchandak 

Yeah that is also my approach. Only this is become so tedious and make my slicers "and those text boxes" cluttered even when it is already grouped together.

 

This is an old time needed actually, I only thought it is already have some solution, or even better, have some upgrade on the visual like format property to cater this.

 

Noted yours however. Thanks.
