The "Clear all slicers" button only clears visible slicers on the page. Any hidden slicers are ignored. I suggest that the button clears ALL slicers regardless of visibility on the given page - OR have an option in the settings to either "clear ALL visible & hidden slicers" or "clear ALL visible slicers only".

 

We use bookmarks to do pop-up style slicer menus so the user can hide/show the available slicers. This helps save screen real state, while also providing a better and more organized experience for the end user. I mistakenly put the default "clear all slicers" button for the user, only to find out that it's useless if the slicers on the page are hidden at all.

All slicers should be cleared including hidden slicer using "Clear all slicers" button option or provide two options 1. "Clear all Slicers" and 2. "Clear all visible Slicers".

Definitely for this. If it is called ALL it should clear ALL, not some. Of course now if they make it do that behavior would change if you are counting on it not clearing ALL. Guess you would probably have to create a new Action type like Really clear all slicers...

It would be great if this could be implemented as a feature that could be turned on or off in the button formatting. "Clear hidden slicers...on/off"I could see times where there is a hidden slicer you would not want cleared. Allowing this to be turned on or off would provide maximum flexibility when designing Power BI reports.

We use a similar design using bookmarks to show/hide slicers. This gives users a cleaner, more intuitive and organized experience.
