Data Not Displaying When Selected
Hello,
I'm not completely sure of the exact cause, but this usually points to a data issue rather than a slicer bug.
The most likely culprit is a mismatch in the London value. Even if it looks identical, there could be a hidden difference like a trailing space, a case difference, or an extra character that Power BI treats as separate . Since the query editor filter works, the data is definitely there, but the slicer might be pointing to a different London entry.
What I'd try: in Power Query, clean the area column by trimming and removing extra spaces. Also check if there's a second London value hiding in the slicer, maybe under a blank or different formatting.
Another possibility is a relationship issue. If the relationship between the area dimension and the fact table is broken for that one value, the slicer would still show London but return nothing . Check the relationship settings and make sure it's active and the cross-filter direction is correct.
As a quick diagnostic, create a simple table visual showing the area name and a count of fact rows, then filter to London. If the count is zero, you've confirmed it's a matching problem.
Best regards,
Daniele
Thank you, I've cleaned and trimmed the text, but it hasn't fixed the issue. I've also checked the relationships between the tables and everything seems to be correct so I am not sure what to do next. I've also created the table visual and it does return the London Sales data, this just seems to be an issue in the Month over Month table.
Any advice is welcome, thank you
