Single select slicer reverts back to multi-select after publishing

Hi,

 

in my report I have saved certain slicers as single select, when I publish this report upto the Power BI service the slicers seem to revert back to bieng multi-select for some reason.

 

Can anyone help please?

 

Thanks

@Anonymous Do you have multi-select with CTRL turned off? The single select option disabled the multi-select with CTRL, the multi-select with CTRL off gives you the option to select more than one without holding CTRL.... the saves seem to apply for me.

@Anonymous Sounds like a bug, I'd post on issues.powerbi.com so that you make it aware. For your immediate needs you could edit the report in the Service to change them back... not ideal, but the functionality is there.

@Seth_C_Bauer Hi, thanks i will report this. but the other issue im also having is that when i do change it in the service and then save it, it still doesnt seem to save it with the slicer saved as a single select for some reason. it still reverts back to a multi-select.

hi @Seth_C_Bauer  i tried this and it has worked, it is because i had "select all" enabled before i selected single select, so its almost like it was overwriting it. I had to untick everything and then select single select. Thanks for the help.
