Excel slicer bug - slicer options are blurry

Hello all,

I've been working with Microsoft support and they're unwilling to assist in this manner, shockingly. However, they suggested I post here on the forum to see if anyone has any answers.

In short, my slicers are blurry. This clearly seems to be a bug, so not sure anyone will have answers, but has anyone experienced this? The slicers are blurry across files, and I've restarted the system. Interestingly, the slicers are not blurry when viewing the same files online. So, this must be a visualization issue within excel itself - not a file issue.

I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling Microsoft Office. 

Thoughts anyone?

Morning Jesper,

Thanks for the prompt to check. Interestingly, it's working on my end now. I noticed the other day that Microsoft pushes an update to Excel, and now things are working. Looks like it was a Microsoft thing after all, as things look now. Have you updated?

    Hi

    You can get build 16.34 if you have an Office 365 subscription and you also join the Office Insider program and choose Insider Slow track.

    Go to the Excel menu and choose About Excel to reveal the license type. It must say Office 365 subscription in order for you to jump to the head of the line to get the 16.34 update. If your subscription is managed, then the subscription manager must allow you to join the Insider program.

    Office Insiders - insider.office.com

    If you do not have an Office 365 subscription or you don't mind waiting a few days, you should get the 16.34 build sometime next week. General release updates occur gradually throughout the week. Joining Insider slow will trigger an immediate update.

    I think the same? Except I did the direct download (download the file from Microsoft and install) instead of installing from the app store. Not sure which version you have. Maybe they'll push the update to you sometime soon? And I could be wrong about the update - maybe it was another microsoft update? I'm showing version 16.34 on my end.

    It is the same, I have 16.33 and can not find 16.34 anywhere online and when i hit update it says that my excel is up to date! It might be because I am in Sweden and  our update comes later du to that they have to adjust it to our language. At least it gives me hope for the future!

    No, there is no update for me! I have 365 what Excel for Mac do you have?

    Thanks for you help!
