Multiple selection on Mac , not in slicer

Hi everybody,

 

I have problems with multiple selection on Mac. Command ctrl + clic does not work. Any ideas? Does it depends on the version or the browser you use?

 

Thank you in advance.

In MacOSX (at least in my 10.13 version) Ctrl + Left-Click serves as what would be a Right-Click. 
The function most Windows users expect from a Ctrl + Left-Click should be Command + Left-Click in MacOSX. And in most applications it works fine, except in the PowerBI browser version (also known as the Service). 

I have read every offered solution here, but nothing works when trying to multiple select datapoints in a chart.

 No  v-haibl-msft  , I mean that this trick does not work in other different chart, like bar chart for example. (In slicer I know the trick) Any ideas? Is it because of the browse version?

 

Kind regards.

Do you mean that you cannot multiple select values in the slicer using command + click in Mac Safari?
