Multiple selection in a Power BI report on Service using a touchscreen

My company started using a touchscreen monitor to visualize reports on Service, and I'm wondering if a multiple selection is possible, for example in a date slicer, where you may want to select two different dates from a list. I believe it's not uncommon, as you may want to have the same behavior in a mobile version, but I haven't found any useful information so far. 

Has anybody come across this issue already and solved it?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Agustinms 

Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to multi-select a slicer from a touch screen. You do it from Desktop or Service by using Ctrl+Mouse together. But you don't have a button to do it on the touch screen.
I have logged in to Power BI Service on my android and I have been able to manipulate the slicer, but I can only single select and not multi-select. Maybe you can use filters to multi-select a date, but that requires you to do it on the filter page.

Oh, I see. It's not ideal but it can be a good alternative. Thank you very much
