That is odd.  Is there any chance you can share your .pbix file?  (load it to OneDrive or DropBox and share the link here).

    Unfortunately I can't, there is plenty of Company-owned data in there. Is there any information I could give you to help you solve the issue? I am not really sure how to reproduce the problem with mock-up data.

      Can you start with a new .pbix and hook it to the same data source, see if you get the same behavior?  I was not able to reproduce the behavior you are seeing in a test file.

      It is behaving like the TweetID fields in the table and the slicer are not from the same table.

        Indeed, I did this and it worked properly. So thank you, I will accept your solution even if we did not really understand what the problem was.

        I do not know why it did not work: even if the TweetID fields in the table and the slicer were not from the same table, but the two tables were linked on TweetID with a (1,*) relationship and cross filter on both ways, shouldn’t that work anyway?
