The ability to configure a slicer to only be able to select one attribute at a time - similar to a radio button. I would like to disable the ability for people to either choose select all or choose multiple slicers.

Hi everyone! The slicer now supports a radio button mode too, with real single-select behaviour. You'll see updated options in the property pane that let you control this. Thanks for your patience and feedback!

RE: single selection slicer

Just venting slightly here, but why did MS go through the trouble of including a "Select All" option and "Single Select" option in the first place, when they don't even do what just about everyone here is needing them to do... It's like Power BI is just a dog and pony to claim they're competitive with Tableau.

RE: single selection slicer

How many votes does it take for the product developers to work on this ?? I can't believe this simple functionality is that hard to pay attention to... I really need this !!
What is the purpose for the single selection if the user is going to be able to unselect all and get the "select all" behavior? just return blank when nothing is selected... that simple...

RE: single selection slicer

It is unthinkable that this feature is not available yet. And after almost 3 years from the first request

RE: single selection slicer

Tableau Public can do this. If Microsoft wants to stay in this business it needs to keep up with the competition.

RE: single selection slicer

Flagged this idea as inappropriate to hopefully remind developers that we are still waiting for this functionality!!!!

RE: single selection slicer

Single select slicers are pointless if unticking the selected one defaults to 'select all'. This is such a simple concept.
