Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this no longer works in the latest version of Power BI.

    me too have the same problem.

     

    solved temporarily with created double slicer (one on the top of the other)

    but sometimes this slicer doesn't work (there's blank option in the slicer)

    so i have to re-publish from desktop version to eliminate the blank

    and it happens quite frequent

    so please, Microsoft, would you fix this?
