    SOLUTION

     

    Open the selection pane from the view tab to see all the visualisations applied to the page. Check for any hidden slicers and make them visible. I had a hidden slicer which was excluding leave from my visualisation. Simply deleted it and the report was back to functional.

Hope you have checked the visual level filter and if you have not clicked on any other visual by mistake. Also you formula can cause data filtering. provide more details

    Hi, I do have a question about this. I have a dashboard with a lot of visuals, and clicking on them affects the remaining ones.

    How can I instantly know which one is affecting the others? Or how can I make them unrelated, so that cliking on them does not affect others?

    I have checked the visual level filters, which do not show the filter I can see under the "filters and slicers affecting this visual." Can confirm no other visual is selected either. The formula I am using that is the most likely culprit is:

     

    Unbillable Task Category =
    if(Search("Technical Issues",TimeSheet[task],,-1) <> -1,
      "Technical Issues",
         if(TimeSheet[project]="Sales and Marketing",
          "Sales & Marketing",
             if(TimeSheet[Project] = "IT", "IT",
               if(TimeSheet[project] = "Leave",
                 "Leave",
                  "Uncategorised"
               )
            )
        )
    )
     
    The filter in question is excluding leave from the visual. Thanks for your response.
