Slicer Bug dropdown switches to list when Report is published

Submitted by Anonymous on ‎06-23-2020 02:50 AM

I am reporting a similar bug to the issue rasied in March 2019 https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Slicer-switches-from-Dropdown-to-List-when-using-Bookmarks-l...

 

The difference is I am not using bookmarks. I am using Desktop Version: 2.74.5619.621 64-bit (October 2019).

 

Other solutions to this issue such as switching off the visual header or editing the slicer in Power BI Service have not resolved the bug.

 

When I edit the slicer in Power BI Service and change it from List to Dropdown it looks fine until I save the Report and switch back to reading mode. When I make the switch to reading mode the dropdown automatically reverts to a list. 

Please take a look at the screen recording of this issue.

 

I raised this in the community and was advised to raise an issue https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Dropdown-slicer-not-displaying-correctly-in-Power-BI-Servic...

I cannot reproduce the issue. Always try the latest version of Power BI Desktop and check Supported browsers. You may also create a support ticket for assistance if necessary.

This is happening to me too. It is changing many of my dropdowns inexplicably to mosaic slicer views. It is directly related to when I last updated Power BI. It's making development SO SLOW because I have to keep copying and pasting the dropdowns when I navigate to a different page so I don't have to completely recreate the slicers every time. The first time it happened was when I pressed a button to navigate to a bookmark.

I am having this issue as well in several instances. Here is exactly how it has appeared every time:
Step 1: Make a selection in a slicer
Step 2: Save that slicer with selections in a bookmark

Step 3: Click another bookmark

The bookmarks were on the same page, filtering a different slicer (one to only show 3 wks data, one to show all data). I update bookmark with a selection, click on all dates bookmark to do the same, but slicer now shows as a list, not a dropdown and won't change back. Can we please fix this and does anyone know a way to change it back and make this work? I need to save the slicers with data selected. Thanks!

i found a solution for that issue :

when you set a bookmark, you can (r.click) and uncheck the Data option on its menu - that will eliminate data filter issues (after you uncheck the Data, click the Update on the same bookmark menu - inorder to save that setting)

in that way, you can use one combo box for these bookmarks, without having the issue of the slicer shown as a list.
