Previously, without the DateSlicerSelection, the DateDim[FullDateAlternateKey] was in a between date slicer and everything was working fine. Despite the fact that I have absolutely no idea of how to fix it, I have made few observations:
I am able to get the very first Date of my DimDate table even with it is filtered with he following formula :
