Advocate IIWiden the slicer drop down menu
Hello,
I'm wondering if there's a way to widen the drop down menu of a slicer to the right. The categories in my slicer are pretty long words, and I would prefer not to make my slicer wider than it is, but if I don't, you cannot read the full category. See the attached image. I'm wanted to know if there's an alternative to be able to see the whole category without making the slicer wider. Thanks!
Hi wfarrell19 ,
You can try to make the font smaller.

Unfortunately there is no such option available. You need to increase the width of the slicer like you said.

That is not a solution indeed.
If you make the font smaller, then many users would not be able to read them.
If you make the slicer wider in general, then we would be forced to use valuable space.
Just the list should be widder, not the entire slicer.
I see that there is not an actual solution available by now at 2024. Incredible.
Here is a workaround that I use:
- extend the slicer to an appropriate width that will fit the long text.
- cover the extra width with another visual from your reort.
- make sure to turn off the slicer visual border.
- add a custom border using Insert --> Shapes.
- Send the Custom Border backward so it won't affect the slicer selection interaction.
