Dear Syed,

Thank you very much for the quick response.

As you can see in the screenshot below, under the slicer settings, options don't appear, what I see is selection. Why? what am I missing? I am using the desktop online version of Power bi.

Thank you.

Dear Syed,

Many thanks for your prompt response.

Please review the screenshot below. Under slicer settings, Options don't appear; what I see is selection. Am I going about it the wrong way? I am using the power bi online desktop version.

Kind Regards

Dear Syed,

Thank you for the follow-up mail. I am still facing the similar challenge. This time, I could see Options when I selected Category in slicers but when I use Customer, I don't see options in the slicers settings. I am surely doing something wrong.

No options in slicer settings

Options under slicers settings with Category in the slicer

Does the choice of column affect slicer settings?

Kind regards

Hi Fualefac Bezah,

Thank you for providing the additional details and screenshots.

Yes, the choice of column can indeed affect the slicer settings in Power BI. When you select different columns, especially those with different data types (e.g., numeric vs. text), the available slicer options can vary.

For example, in your case:

Category (likely a text field) displays the slicer options, including styles like a vertical list or dropdown.

Customer (possibly another data type or a different structure) might not have the same available slicer options.

To resolve this, ensure that the field you’re using in the slicer is compatible with the slicer settings you want (e.g., text-based fields for the 'Vertical List' option). Additionally, you can verify if the column type or data model settings need adjustment to ensure consistency across slicers.
