Chiclet Slicer/Chicklet Slicer

Any chance this can be updated to use the new "Sync Slicers" function.  It would be great.

Hi,

 

In Chicklet Slicer is there any chance to display text in buttons align left.

 

Thanks

Text is always center aligned in Chiclet Slicer.

Hi, please add sync slicers support.

Without it this custom visual is obsolete in my opinion.

Would be a shame, I like it much more then the standard slicer.

Sync Slicer feature is on our backlog but it is limmited to a single column only.

No ETA so far. We focus on migrating visuals to versioned API from legacy.

Hi @v-viig ,

 

Do you have a timeline for updating your visuals from legacy to versioned API? Our organization is experiencing many problems with Microsoft created visuals.

 

Thanks,

James

Our current target is to complete the migration by end of March. ETA might change.

 

Could you share a list of issue that you are facing with Microsoft's visuals?

Such a list will help us to prioritize future sprints.

Any update on this ? Chiclet Slicer syncing would be huge

No update regarding sync slicer support.

 

The only one way to use sync slicer feature in ChicletSlicer is forking of its repo, modifying of capabilities.json by adding the following option:

"supportsSynchronizingFilterState": true

Then it is necessery to change guid in pbiviz.json and build a package.

 

This visual will suport the feature but it will work correctly only if there is 1 field in Value bucket.

This is a main reason why we didn't add sync slicer support for ChicletSlicer, but we will do it as soon as Power BI supports synchronization for several fields.

 

Kind Regards,

Beside slider sync and the possibility to align the texts according to our layout needs (we do not use images, so we have much more focus on the text formatting) we would also need to apply a different font to the text elements.

We'll also consider different fonts.

Internet Explorer has a problem to display text in buttons correct. I set the font size tp 8pt and reduced the hight to 20px. Everthing looked nice in Power BI Desktop, in Chrome and even embedded in Teams. But Internet-Explorer was not able to display the text correct. Seems that the font is not scaled down, only the top half is visible. This is a pitty, because IE is our standard browser.
Internet Explorer Version 11 (11.0.9600.1893)

@Holger28 Are you talking about Chiclet Slicer? If so, can you share s screenshot that represents the issue?

 

Meantime, we would recommend that you should consider to use Microsoft Edge as a primary browser instead of IE as we are no longer forces external custom visuals developers to support IE11.

Are there any work arounds?   I have a 2 page report.   I have several data slicers which are synced.   I also have the Chiclet Slicer for a month and one for a year.   I need that month and year to be used in the second page of the report.

No workarounds so far. We'll implement this feature once Power BI Custom Visuals API supports it.

@v-viig

This is actually needed as in most of the reports we use chiclet slicer because of more formatting options as compared to slicer.
