Hello,
I have three slicers and a table. The slicers a filtered down by office location. The data does not associate employee with office, so it is a manual filter. When I click select all, the data in the table and graph above (not shown) shows all employees, the filter does not work.
Any suggestions?

Hi @Anonymous ,
Did you check the direction of your tables?
The Cross filter direction option can have one the following settings:
Both: For filtering purposes, both tables are treated as if they're a single table. The Both setting works well with a single table that has a number of lookup tables that surround it. An example is a sales actuals table with a lookup table for its department. This configuration is often called a star schema configuration (a central table with several lookup tables). However, if you have two or more tables that also have lookup tables (with some in common) then you wouldn't want to use the Both setting. To continue the previous example, in this case, you also have a budget sales table that records target budget for each department. And, the department table is connected to both the sales and the budget table. Avoid the Both setting for this kind of configuration.
Single: The most common, default direction, which means filtering choices in connected tables work on the table where values are being aggregated. If you import a Power Pivot in Excel 2013 or earlier data model, all relationships will have a single direction.
For more information, see Create and manage relationships in Power BI Desktop.
If you're still confused, please provide some dummy data and expected results.
Best Regards,
Stephen Tao
