Slicer dropdown style change to list style automatically

Hello,

 

I designed my report by Power Desktop and uploaded to Power BI Service. 

I can see the Slicer style is dropdown style in the workspace on Service, it shows the same as PowerBI desktop.

When I published the APP with the reports on the PowerBI Service, some Slicer dropdown style change to list style automatically.

I only want to show these slicers as List style.

Do you have any ideas?

It is been 2 years since this problem was posted and it seems that Microsoft done nothing to fix it. 

Really disappointing.

@hemingt We are encountering this issue at present. The only workaround seems to be to have 'select all' enabled for dropdowns

Hope this works for you in the interim

I have tried both of the approaches (select all enabled for dropdown and replacing the old bookmark with a new one). Neither approach works consistently.

 

I would really appreciate not having to re-do my slicers every time this happens.

Hello @Anonymous 

Thank you!

It seems it does not work for me!
