Issue: Slicer Sync Forces Same Format Across Pages (Between vs Relative Date)

Dear Power BI Community,

I am facing a persistent issue while trying to configure two date slicers—one using Between format and another using Relative Date format—across different pages using the Sync Slicer pane.

Issue Summary:

• I want Page 1 to have a Between Date slicer (From–To).

• I want Page 2 to have a Relative Date slicer (e.g., Last 7 days, Last 30 days).

• Both slicers use the same Date column, and both should sync only the date value, not the format type.

• However, when I sync the slicers:

  • Changing one slicer’s format (e.g., setting Page 1 slicer to Between) forces the slicer on the other page to switch to the same format.

  • Even disabling "Sync filter changes to other slicers" does not prevent the format from syncing.

  • If slicers have different Group Names, they do not sync the date values at all.

  • If slicers have the same Group Name, the format is also synced, which breaks the requirement.

• I also tried:

  • Using Date column directly

  • Using a date table

  • Using different visualizations

  • Making group name empty (but the sync option becomes disabled)

  • Using measures (Between does not support measures)

  • Rebuilding visuals from scratch
    Yet the issue continues.

Expected Behavior:

• Slicers with the same Group Name should sync only the selected date values, not the visual format type (Between vs Relative).

Actual Behavior:

• Slicer visual format type is also being synced, making it impossible to use “Between” on one page and “Relative Date” on another while keeping the selected date in sync.

Impact:

• This prevents creating a “Reset Date” bookmark based on Relative Date while the main report page uses a Between Date slicer for user selection.

• Breaks reporting design where different pages require different slicer formats but must share the same date context.

Please advise if this is a known limitation or a bug, and if there is any workaround.
