    The new Filter Pane experience is really nice. However, the count numbers next to the selection boxes in the Basic drop downs can be confusing to users - they can have no relevance to what is showing on the page. Please add functionality to where these counts be toggled off!

    This is creating a distraction to our users and is not of any use
    Would definitely like the option to hide it
    or just remove it with no option

    Agree. Users are confused from that number and its irrelevant. Please give action to hide or update the slicers to not show it at all.

    Really need this implemented per all of the comments below, just started to deploy new dashboards and a handful of users have asked the question confused about the counts making no sense due to modeling which is understandable

    Very confusing for the users. We get complaints about it all the time. Please add an option to hide the counts.

    These counts are super embarrassing with slowly changing dimensions. "Power BI is saying that we have 10,000 widget types, but we only have 6,000 widget types. Oh noes, the data is not reliable!"

    Toggle to display or not display counts and if it does show the count it should only display the filtered data numbers not full dataset value

    The count should filter to what is currently displayed, not the full dataset value
