Hi rishtinz ,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

 

Hi Nasif_Azam , Thank you for posting response in community.

 

Hi rishtinz , In addition to Nasif_Azam response, i am adding some more points.

 

In Power BI the dropdown slicer width does not auto-adjust to fit the contents. Instead, it's constrained by the width of the slicer visual itself.

Please try alternative below options.

1. Use a Custom Visual Slicer that can dynamically resize or wrap text better than the default slicer:

Smart Filter Pro by OKViz (paid version): Supports advanced filtering, Searchable dropdown, Auto-complete and better UI for long values.

Chiclet Slicer: While not a dropdown, it allows more control over layout and item display.

2. Create a table visual (single-column) with row selection as a slicer substitute Or a card with buttons or custom bookmark navigation

3. Enabling tooltips to show the full value when hovered. Using DAX to create a full label that appears in a card/tooltip.

 

Please refer below custom visual links for your reference.
