    Hi kerryleaab,

    I wanted to check if the issue has been resolved, since you mentioned you were working on a workaround by using a different field filter for your issue.

     

    Thank you.

Hi kerryleaab - you can delete the slicer and re-add it to the report.Sometimes slicers retain cached filter states that become incompatible when underlying data slightly changes.Use a calculated column with UNICODE and also share the calculation that you used. hope this helps.

    Hi rajendraongole1 thank you so much for your quick response! I have tried removing and re-adding the slicer but am still getting the same error message. The column I am filtering is a simple text column [accountname] with no additional calculations. If I create a calculated column for UNICODE([accountname]) there don't appear to be any errors.
