Hi guys,
Ever experienced the slicers is wrong after it is published. I'm facing this issue now whereby in Power BI desktop has set the slicer to be Dropdown. It is correct for a couple of days, but now suddenly it is changed to List. I tried to Edit directly in PowerBI.com, changed back to dropdown and Save, switch to Reading view, the slicer goes back to list.
From my original PBIX, I open again from Power BI desktop, and publish again (the slicer still as dropdown as I wanted), but after suceeded re-publish, still in PowerBI.com viewed as List.
Is this a bug ?
Is your problem solved? If you have solved it, could you share your solution?

You can refer this issue Slicer automatically changes type from Dropdown to List. Maybe it can help you.

Are you looking at the report in the workspace or an app? If you're looking at it in an app, you'll need to update the app after republishing for the visual changes to flow through (dataset updates don't need this extra step but it does matter for changes to report elements).
Do you have any bookmarks on the report that might be swapping the visual back to list?
Hi,
No bookmark on this report. Even though I used to playing with bookmark, but I'm certain even if I have bookmark, I update it correctly with the correct visual. Also this slicer from the beginning is dropdown, I dunno why it is keep changing to List for now, just happen today, while this report has been published (and re-published) more than 1 month actually.
Thanks
