Hello,
I am having some difficulty with a slicer when used with a date table. The slicer is the date from the date table, which has a relationship with a date field in a data table. When I choose a year in the slicer, the data is filtered, but the visual is not. Image for reference:
You can see the data is limited to the year selected in the slicer, but the x-axis on the graph and years in the table are not limited to that year.
This is not an issue when I use the date field in the data table (not the date table), but then I'm limited in what kind of time intelligence I can do due to the dates not being acceptable as a date table.
Any help in obtaining the behavior I'd like would be appreciated.

@PurpleWave22 what is your measure? Are you returning 0 instead of blank?

My measure is a distinct count of IDs plus 0, so it does return 0s where there are no IDs. I just removed that from my measure and it resolved the issue, but there are some situations where the 0s are useful.
Is there a resolution that retains the best of both worlds where the 0s are retained but the slicer works as I expected it to?
