Date Slicer issue - Different values in PBI Desktop VS PBI Service (Published report)

Hi there,

 

When I compare the Power BI Desktop report to the report thats been published to Power BI Service, the Date slicer produces different results for the same date range.

 

Power BI Desktop

I apply the date filter 5 Nov to 9 Nov and I correctly see 'Expected Hours' as 37.5 hours for each staff member.

Power BI Service (Published report)

When I do the same Date filter in Power BI Service I get a different result for 'Expected Hours', now it show as 30 hours!! Why???

'Expected Hours' is a Measure defined as follows.

The 'StaffExpectedHours' table where "Expected Hours' is coming from has its own date column which is linked to the 'Date'[Date] column.  The 'Date'[Date] is used as date slicer in the report.

 

Appreciate any suggestions as to what I might need to look at to fix this.

 

Thank you.

hi, @Landcrab

I have tested on my side, but not reproduce the issue.

For example:

Power bi desktopPower bi desktoppower bi servicepower bi service

and the measure 

Expected hours = SUM(S[staff])-SUM(H[holiday])

 

So please check the dataset in power bi service whether has been refreshed.

Please refresh the dataset and the report then try it.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/refresh-desktop-file-local-drive

 

By the way, refresh the dataset in both power bi service and power bi desktop, then compare the result of them.
