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!

Agree with other comments that the ability to unselect current option in a single select slicer and with control key we can select multiple values ...

RE: single selection slicer

Agree with other comments that the ability to unselect current option in a single select slicer is a bug.

One more vote. This is very much needed.

RE: single selection slicer

It is not a true single select slicer when the user can untick a selection to then see everything. Please introduce a force selection option at least! The number of votes here is a clear indication it is important to a lot of people

RE: single selection slicer

This functionality exists in the single select parameters in SSRS reports. The same is required here by everyone requesting it.

RE: single selection slicer

This feels like a bug in the slicer, having the single selection option on should limit the user to a single selection! Why can I then un-tick the current selection to effectively have a select all? Please implement what seems a simple fix but has been asked for again and again by users.
