'Select All' doesn't work when filtering a slicer.
I know how filters work, I've tried to make this example as basic as possible because people are misconstruing the problem. Let me clarify this issue again.
In June 2019 Microsoft added the ability to apply visual-level filters to a slicer, this meant you could restrict the available options within a slicer. This was not possible prior to this date.
In the example I showed, I've limited the slicer to only 'Aaron' and 'Bob. Here it is again for reference.
So here there are only 2 employees available on the slicer, but when I use the 'Select All' button it's selecting all employees - even the ones not included in the visual level filter for the slicer. I would expect to see the SalesAmount for Bob and Aaron only, I don't.
This is probably an oversight on how the slicer handles 'Select All', it's a bug.
Hi Kashinoda ,
Looks like now I understand the problem. Thanks for detailed explanation 🙂
In order to fulfil your requiremnt, is it right to turn-off "Show Select-All Option" under Selection Controls for your slicer?
Because I think Select-All option still wors on the principal of selecting everything from the column on which slicer is based.
If this helps and resolves the issue, appreciate a Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂
Thanks,

Same issue here. I created a new topic about this in the 'Issues' section:
How do we get confirmation this is a bug or not?
Member123456 - I assume this user is actually a Power BI community admin representative. If so, please can you confirm if what has been described in this thread is a bug or not? If it is a bug, can you raise it as so, or instruct me on how to raise it?
Kashinoda - don't wish to steal your thunder but how you're interpreting the functionality is how, I'd imagine, 99% of users would too.
