Hi @Ramsgaard ,

What version of Power BI you are using? Try updating you Power BI version.

I can see the orientation option at my end as follows:

@RamsgaardIts available there under the general tab in format section. Please check whether you have selected the slicer visual or any other visual

Hi @Ramsgaard ,

Under Format options --> Orientation

You can also try some custom visual based slicers like Chiclet Slicer.

Hi I have the april 2020 version.

Hi.

It works now, i had two different year variabls in my data. i tried the other one and that works. Not sure what the difference are other than the first i used and the one that did not work was part of a date Hierarchy, maybe that can be the problem.

thank you anyway!

@Ramsgaard there is a bug and here is a workaround, if you start slicer with a number field, you will not see this option to change to horizontal.

- create a slicer

- add non numeric column (text column) as a slicer (it is a temporary)

- change orientation to horizontal

- now replace column in the slicer the column you actually want, even if it is a number and that will get you going.

@Ramsgaard  on format page, under general tab, you have the option to change the orientation to Horizontal, I think that is what you are looking for. If not provide more details.
