For whatever reason, cannot select multiple items in slicer, regardless whether you use Shift + Click or you use Single Select -> off, it always select only one item in the slicer.

Help!

You should use Ctrl + Click to select multiple items in slicer. If turn off Single Select, you just need to click one by one.

@v-haibl-msft is correct. It should work the way you both describe. Here is the documentation:

and here is a great video:

If neither of these help and it still does not work as it should, please submit a bug.

HTH,

Gents, it was always working but I think there was issue momentarily, may be part of PowerBI service update. Everything is working as expected and it is all good. Thanks for looking into it.
