Hi  @Julaiha ,

Sorry, this is the design concept of power bi for dates. When your date relates to a hierarchical structure, whether it is a month or a quarter, it will all be displayed.

 

You can manually filter the months with data by clicking on the slicer and then selecting the filter next to it

You can also create a calculated column and use this calculated column as a slicer.

Month = FORMAT('Table'[Date],"mmmm")

Hi @Julaiha 
Dont take the Month from your calculated Date column.It is PBI behaviour to show continuous dates and months of calculated date column.

Try to take data from your orignal date column which has only Aug Sept Oct data.
