Slicer with slider appears as check box in Power BI service

Submitted by Resolver I on ‎03-19-2017 08:19 PM

Hi,

 

I am using a slicer with slider in a report in Power BI Desktop as shown below:

But when I publish the report in Power BI service, it appears as checkbox as shown below:

Yesterday I upgraded my personal laptop to the most current version of PBI and after publishing all the slicers were working as sliders.   I upgraded my work desktop today and only 3 of the 14  slicers are working as sliders.    They are dates or percents.   None of the numbers are working ( number of accounts, number of months).    Publishing via the laptop does not create the sliders either.  

 

Very odd.

I too just published today, and the sliders based on Dates worked, while the numeric ones (Rank, Dollar Amounts, Percentile) didn't work. If you could fix this as soon as possible, that would be fantastic. Thank you!

I just uupdated to the latest version of Power BI yesterday, but now I'm having an old issue where the slider in the desktop version becomes a check box on the online version. My filters are all set to "Between" and the data series are all numbers. Can anyone advise or do I just need to wait for Microsoft to patch this?Slider Errors.PNG

I'm having this issue too...

Date slider is working fine, one of the numeric sliders is also ok, but 3 other numeric sliders are published as lists.  Please let me know what I can do to fix asap.

For others with this problem, it has been solved here: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/Numeric-range-slicer-is-not-working-in-power-services/idi-p/2...

 

Essentially you need to force the mode of the slicer. In desktop it will default to the between slicer, but in the service it does not and does not allow you to select the preview slicers manually. So you have to manually change it to something else in desktop, change it back to between, then publish.

I just uploaded a PBIX with 2 slider slicers to Power BI service, slicers were converted to check box type. No wway to edit to enable slider functionality. No way to create new slicer (online) with slider functionality.

I read that:

  • "Currently the numeric range slicer is only available in Power BI Desktop. If a report that uses the numeric range slicer is published to the Power BI service, the filter will still be applied but it will appear as a list slicer."

When will this be updated? Comes across as way cool, but my boss is NOT going to be happy to learn that this new filter I added only works on desktop.
