Preselected slicer - Issue

Hello Everyone,

 

I'm currently struggling with a problem with a custom visual called preselected slicer... When I have two of them on one page and I try to filter one of them, all the data disappears from the page... Has anyone experienced something like this or know how to avoid it? In the example below I have filtered 2013.


I will be glad for any help or explanation.

 

 Thanks,

@Davekk 

it could be the dirty status column that you have added is the reason of such issue. 

try using the approach described here for the dirty status  .

from what i remember ( maybe it could help) , i think you need to have different column for the dirty status per each pre selected slicer. by that i mean, if you war working with 2 slicers, you need to create a table with the following data : 

 

_PreselectedSlicer = DATATABLE(
    "IsDirtySlicer1", BOOLEAN, "IsDirtySlicer2", BOOLEAN,
    {
        {FALSE(), FALSE()},
        {FALSE(), TRUE()},
        {TRUE(), FALSE()},
        {TRUE(), TRUE()}
    }
)
