Slicer generating inverted condition

Hi all

a colleague asked me for help: she has a slicer not working correctly.

 

The slicer presents two values (say "0"/"1").

The condition generated selecting the first value is "Attribute is not 1", while a similar slicer created from scratch produces for the same selection the condition "Attribute is 0".

 

The problem arises when no value is selected:

the first slicer generates the condition in "Attribute is not 0 or 1", which is false, the second one does not generate any condition. 

 

I can't find any difference, in the visualization panel.

Unzipping the .pbix file and inspecting the json string of the report layout I find some difference; 

particularly the first slicer present this property 

          "isInvertedSelectionMode\":{\"expr\":{\"Literal\":{\"Value\":\"true\"}}}

 

Have you ever founded something like that?

Is there a way to control this behaviour in Power BI Desktop?

thanks

Luigi

I reproduced the problem of my colleague creating a simpler report with

- a page with one slicer (copied & pasted fron the original report) and a table

- a page with the same slicer created from scratch and the same report

The report is in live connect mode.

Here you can see the relation betwen the two tables involved.

Here you can see that  selecting the same value the two slicer produce inverted  condition, with the same effect.

Unfortunately deselecting all values the effects are different

Settings of two slices are identical

Another symptom is that with the bad slicer you can obtain multi-select without control, despite its setting.

thanks

have a nice day
