Slicer Visualizations for dates no longer work with Quarter/Months and Days

[timvanharen]

Dear Power BI Community

The Issue:

With the new version of PowerBI (2.40.4554.421 64-bit ) it seems to be impossible to make an 'old school'  slicer with Months/Quarters and Days. 

What happends:

Once I make a slicer to access a date field like: 01-01-2016 I see the new date bar. There is a possibility to acces the old slicer field by left clicking on the arrow in the visualizations -> field option. However once I switch to Date Hierarchy I can only select 'year' and no longer access the Quarter, Month and Day options.

Even when i first make a table (they still do have the other date options) and I switch the visualization back to the slicer I still only have an option for years.

Workaround:

There is a possibility to add additional colomns to my dataset, however I prefer not to do so and work with the old slicer field options (and the new option too).

Older version reports still work with the slicers for Quarters/Months and Days.

Thank you in advance, 

Tim

Hi @timvanharen,

Based on my understanding, you need a slicer which can support the Hierarchy format data, right?

You can try to use "HierarchySlicer"(custom visual):

Power BI Custom Visual Gallery
