Filter selection width problem

[PowerDebi]

Hey everyone,

I'm facing a problem with one of my filter visuals and I'm hoping someone here might have a solution.

On the left side of my report, I have the page navigation and several filter visuals. One of these filters has a hierarchy of 4 levels. As you can see in the screenshot, the selection is barely visible. I've considered horizontal scrolling or automatic width adjustment, but I don't think these options are available.

Can anyone suggest an alternative solution? I'd prefer not to relocate the visual filter (as it would drastically change the layout of my reports) or manually adjust the width (also not an option).

Thanks for your help.

Hi @PowerDebi 

@Uzi2019 @johnbasha33 Thank you very much for your prompt reply, and here allow me to offer some suggestions.

If you want to present as much complete data as possible when space is limited. Consider modifying the slicer format as well as the font.

You can modify the font and size in the slicer, or modify the slicer hierarchy to make it more compact.

I hope this approach provides you with some help.

Hey @v-nuoc-msft thank you as well for your suggestion.

I gave it a try, but i've got 4-5 hierarchy levels and using these modifications does not do the trick. For know I know that there isn't really a good solution for this, unless putting the filter on the top or make the visual wider.

Thank you all.

Hi @PowerDebi 
To save a space for slicer values you can try for walnut slicer.

or you can try with Hierarchy  slicer

I hope it may resolves your issue!

Hey @Uzi2019 ,

Thank you for your suggestions.

Hierarchy slicer and Walnut slicer unfortunately do not fix the problem as described.

It looks like the hierarchy levels in your filter visual are too wide to be fully displayed within the available space. Here are a few alternative solutions you can consider:

1. **Dropdown Menu**: If the filter allows it, you can change the display mode to a dropdown menu. This will collapse the hierarchy levels into a single dropdown, which users can expand to make selections.

2. **Tooltip**: Configure the filter to display a tooltip when users hover over it. This tooltip can show the full hierarchy levels, allowing users to see the complete selection without taking up additional space on the page.

3. **Drill-down**: Implement a drill-down feature where users can click on each level of the hierarchy to navigate through the levels. This way, users can explore the hierarchy in more detail without needing to display all levels at once.

4. **Search Functionality**: Add a search functionality to the filter, allowing users to search for specific items within the hierarchy. This can help users quickly find and select the items they're interested in without needing to navigate through all the hierarchy levels manually.

5. **Scrollable Container**: If none of the above solutions work, consider placing the filter inside a scrollable container. This will allow users to scroll horizontally to view the complete hierarchy levels while keeping the overall layout of your report intact.

Choose the solution that best fits your requirements and the capabilities of your reporting tool. Each option has its advantages and limitations, so consider your users' needs and preferences when making your decision.

Hey @johnbasha33 ,

Thank you for your suggestions.

1. The filter is already a dropdown filter.

2. Not ideal, but better then what I have now

3. Any examples you have? Not sure what you mean exactly.

4. Is already implemented.

5. Please explain me what you mean. How can I create a scrollable container?  This sounds like the perfect solution.

Thank you for your time.
