To address the limitations of our current slicers, which are less advanced and potentially confusing compared to our competitors, a new and enhanced list and dropdown slicer should be designed with a wider range of customization options, incorporating industry best practices, and include innovative features like the ability to copy and paste lists.

RE: Epic idea: New list slicer
I have a list slicer with two levels of items. I just had a user ask for an item to be added that was already there. I had removed indentation to make fewer labels truncated, but it has the side-effect of making the groups less obvious. I'd like to remove the expand and collapse option completely to grant the labels even more space, and then format the top level items in a different way so they are clearly headers. Currently it seems everything gets the same format, whatever level it is on.

We're making great progress in data visualization, but sometimes, incredibly simple things remain unnecessarily complicated—and it's frustrating.For example, my client wants to visually distinguish between applied and non-applied filters (filters on a page, not in the filter pane, where this would be easy). The new slicers could make this effortless… but dropdown lists are missing! With the old slicers, it's simply impossible.I keep going in circles on such basic issues. @Miguel Myers, help!!! 😅
RE: Epic idea: New list slicer
please prioritize dropdown mode for the new slicer. We use 90 % drop down slicers in our reports because they are the most space efficient. please also ensure to merge this idea for the dropdown slicerhttps://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=08d20ffa-7a99-ee11-a81c-000d3adc66b1
RE: Epic idea: New list slicer
Come on Microsoft! The ability to paste a list of values into a slicer should be standard feature by now. We've been waiting for this for seven years. We need to be able to paste a list of values from Excel or Word, or Notepad into a slicer that also has the ability to SYNC across pages. Custom visuals Mass Filter and Filter By List used to provide this functionality but are currently broken from syncing across pages. We have thousands of users that need to paste lists of customer IDs or part numbers that are in the hundreds of values. There are several other suggestions out there too for the same capability. PLEASE HELP. We are wasting so much time simply setting slicers.
RE: Epic idea: New list slicer
can we get a custom in-line suffix label?to get the slicer look like this:Europe (20)Asia (18)Africa (10)just a simple usability feature missing for years
RE: Epic idea: New list slicer
Text attributes can be 'searched' within report slicers. However, integers cannot. For example, if someone wants to quickly find and slice by a Customer Id, it is very cumbersome right now - lots of scrolling. A simple search by Customer Id (as an integer) within the slicer would make it much faster and a better user experience
RE: Epic idea: New list slicer
I have a page which users have requested the ability to take a sample of rows for audit checks. This is based on a numeric field. The first problem is I couldn't get a search field working without it being a text field. This means an ugly custom column that uses padding with invisible special characters so the list visually sorts in numeric order. The numbers to filter are generated elsewhere. Having a search box that worked with numerics and is paste aware would both make my users happy in not doing a bunch of fiddly work, and also make my model happy it doesn't have a pointless column in it.

Requested in 2018 and still not there. This should have been there on day 1!

Need ASAP Thanks
RE: Epic idea: New list slicer
Yes! Exact same issue, need to search by ID numbers. Workarounds work but...should be able to search integers
