Slicers not affecting certain tables?
Correct, I am using Power BI Desktop to create a report. I only called it a dashboard because I am trying to display key performance metrics.
Deleted the slicers and readded them and they still do not work.
Can't use the field in the visual as the slicer because of the data structure.
The bidirectional filter is also turned on.
Any other ideas or thoughts?
I have had slicers not perform as I expected - not due to a bug, but because the joins between tables can affect the definition of the data set. So as noted in the last paragraph of my first post; what I would do at this point is make a copy of your pbix - and delete the joins of those other tables and experiment that way. This would free up the impact and verify that it works in a simpler set up. Not the final answer of course but possibly the path to understanding.
