Hi,
i found a behaviour of timeline slicer which i suppose to be a bug:
I have sales data from the last 2 years or so and in my case i wanted to restrict the date choice in one view "A" to the current year, while in other views i wanted to be able to choose all the last years
My appoach was, to set a filter on the timeline slicer visual in view A, but this results in the following strange behaviour:
When i select all visible dates then (no matter, if quarters, month, weeks or days were chosen), timeline does not filter the visible date range, but rather applies no filtering - see following screenshots.
a) with filter on timeline visual:
b) same date range, but no filter applied to timeline visual:
A selected date range should only filtering the Dates it shows, regardless of all visible dates are chosen or not.
Best regards,
Kilian

Hi KilianG
I tried to restore the scenario you mentioned but failed, can you provide your sample for reference ?

yes, take this example: https://we.tl/t-d9WG99pMOk and try it like in my description above.
Since i dont't wanted to share "real" data, i inserted some random methods. So you will have different numbers to my screenshots above, off course, but the problem is the same.Anonymous any news on this topic?

Has the Timeline 2.4.0 slicer been fixed?
I saw it was last updated April 2024.
I have heard it doesn't play nice iwth relative date/time regarding months? doug_sheehanNo, the issue still exists - we use the latest version and the behaviour is still the same.
Actually, chosing a different approach sfor that filtering (not via TimeLine) solved our problem, but, to come back to your question: beside this issue, we had no problems with Timeline Slicer.
