Connecting date relationship to an existing semantic model

I have created a report using an sql date table, and existing semantic models from power BI.

The key date table is an sql table that I have successfully built relationships with the other tables.

 

I have made one-to-many relationships with:

Chatroom date > sql date

Forum date > sql date

SMS date > sql date

 

The first two tables are working fine with the sql date slicer.

However the SMS date will not use the slicer, but works fine when the sql date slicer is removed.

This table is an existing semantic model built from sharepoint. Same as the Forum table. I can't figure out why this is different? I have checked the date columns used and they are all in correct format.

@nmckeown1 can you check in the PQ what the type of this column is? Make sure it's type is a date, not a date/time.
