Phantom Filter: visualisation indicates filter/slicers is applied; but no such filter/slicer exists
I have a tab with a 'Slicer' and a 'Table' both showing the 'Fiscal Year' field from a DateKey table.
Both visuals display a partial list of the 'Fiscal Year' values defined in the table. Adding (by copy/paste) the same visual to another tab shows the correct full list. Removing and recreating the visual on this tab shows a 'filtered' list. Changing the visual type between types (slicer/table/multi-line card etc.) does not change the results.
When hovering over the filter icon in the top-rigth the pop-up indicates a Filter is affecting this visual. The mystery is that there are no filters or slicers defined.
At one point in the life of this report/dashboard there were 'Synced Slicers' in play, but these have all been removed or deactivated. It really feels like there is one still active but I can't find it.
The same behaviour is evident on each of 3 tabs that were duplicated from an original.
Closing and opening the files; refreshing the data have all NOT helped.
Any ideas or suggestions much appreciated.

paulcinoz can you check if there is any slicer which is not visible and that might be the root cause.
- goto view
- click selection pane
it will list everything on the page, make sure there is no slicer whcih is hidden.

thanks ... got it in one.
I'd been to that panel but not picked the subtlety of what I was looking at ... to many visuals on the page!
