personalize slicer type

Hi,

I created slicer type: 'Relative Date'. I would like to allow users to change type to 'List' or 'Between'. I allowed personalize option for this visual and the users are able to change visual but not to change slicer type. What am I doing wrong?

 

As you can see on picture the option to change slicer type is missing and as for changing visual - I'm able to do this but when choose slicer - the same type of slicer is applied. Appretiate any help.

hi  @Anonymous 

First, If you want to change type of the slicer, you need to change it in edit view not read view. 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/service-interact-with-a-report-in-editing-view

 

second, for your requirement, it couldn't achieve in personalize visual mode for now,

and a simple way, you could import some other slicer from marketplace. for example: Smart Filter by OKViz, which is list type.

Now you could switch them in personalize visual mode.

Slicer type is generally changes by this dropdown (see red circle in image below). Problem is I can't see this option in published report.

I can see this down arrow in pbi desktop. I can't see it in published report as I write earlier.

 

From what I can see, you are clicked on slicer visual, so your print screen are probably from pbi desktop. Problem is I want to allow to change slicer type for users who has access to this report. How to do that?

@Anonymous , do you have an edit report. Also check visual header need to be enabled

Visual header is enabled.

 

What do you mean by this: "do you have an edit report" - should I share pbix file?
