Slicer behaviour - Android versus IOS
Hi all v-venuppu jaineshp michalfoster
I have just shared a video with microsoft support that Michal asked for. instead of going through all the steps above, i did the following -> created a fresh new pbix file from scratch. Within this file, I created a table consisting of only 2 columns -> Nationality and Grade and placed random values in rows. I then made a dropdown slicer across the whole mobile layout canvas (large enough to cover many of the topics you mentioned). Pushed to power bi cloud worskpace, tested with android and ios device next to eachother and unfortunately, the outcome hasn't changed.
I have to highlight one more thing -> while the reports are published within the powerbi workspace, we dont open the reports through power bi app itself (downloadable through google play). Instead, we have an in-house solution app that 'aggregates' different power bi apps/links into that single app. The access to the app is controlled by our IT team. Note however that this in house app is nothing but a fancy designed 'aggregator' and by no means it interfers with the standard functionality of the powerbi.
Also, due to the sheer volume of options in the slicer (20+), no other variant of the slicer other than the dropdown will fit the intended purpose.
