select multiple boxes in slicer
- 10 years ago
our team is experiencing this same issue, most of our group uses Mac's. The workaround is to edit the slicer using the paitbrush menu navigate down to Selection Controls and set to OFF "Single Select", this will revert the slicer back to the original functionality with check marks in the box and the ability to select multiple items on a MAC.
ksymons Service/Desktop? Can you be more specific? I just checked both (Oct Desktop version) and I don't see any issues.

On Mac the ability to select multiple options in a slcier is now completely gone. This is likely due to the change where one must control-click to select multiple. As a result Mac users (4 out of my 11 person analytics team) can no longer use the dashboards.

This happens on service. Using Mac Safari 8.0.4 but checked multiple browsers with same result. On Windows explorer - meaning on a PC vs MAC , you can use Ctrl+click to get mutliple selections but on a Mac using Crtl will bring up a shortcut menu making the Ctrl+ slection impossible. Not sure why the previous method of multiple selections was not good enough? Seemed to work perfectly: select/unselect, use the eraser... Sometimes trying to fix things makes it worse...

The only issue with changing the option is as soon as you refresh the data it reverts back to the default of single selection.

I have the same issue. cannot select multiple boxes in slicer. Before this week you could select multiple boxes in the slicer , the selction would place checkmarks in every box selcted. Now the slected box will be solif black and trying to sleect another box in teh slicer will remove a previous selection. So only one item can be selected at a time.
