Copied visual won't display

I created a visual that displays as intended.  Now I want to copy and paste it so that I can quickly swap out the Y axis for a different variable.  However, when I copy & paste the visual, the X axis disappears.  I do have the X axis filtered in the original visual to only show "Beginning of Year", "Mid-Year", and "End of Year" and not to show Blank or "4th Quarter."  In the copied visual, the ONLY option is "4th quarter," even though literally my only step has been copy & paste - nothing else has been changed. When I try to re-build the visual from scratch, I get the same - the only option for X axis is "4th quarter." 

(Note - the phrase "4th quarter" is a filler - this column is set up as text, not a date hierarchy.)

 

Any ideas what is happening?  This should have been just a simple copy & paste, and then swap out the Y axis for my new variable and update the title.

These are the settings for both the top and bottom visuals - but the bottom visual won't display.

Have you changed any of the interactions between your original visual and other visuals on the page?  Maybe you set a slicer to not affect your original visual for example.  When you copy and paste a visual, those interaction changes are not carried over to the new visual.

It was the slicer!  It was somehow applying slicers from a 3rd page.  I think I can get it figured out from here.  Thanks!!

No, I haven't changed anything yet.  I even tried copying and pasting another visual on a different page and got the same issue.

 

Original visual from another page:

And here's how it pasted - regardless of which page it was pasted on.  This is immediately after the paste - no other steps taken.
