You should use Ctrl + Click to select multiple items in slicer. If turn off Single Select, you just need to click one by one.

@v-haibl-msft is correct.  It should work the way you both describe. Here is the documentation:

and here is a great video:

 If neither of these help and it still does not work as it should, please submit a bug.

Gents, it was always working but I think there was issue momentarily, may be part of PowerBI service update. Everything is working as expected and it is all good. Thanks for looking into it.
