Thanks for the reply from @Prince_Rajkumar and @lszymk97  please allow me to provide another insight:

Hi, @mmannai 

Can you tell me if your problem is solved? If yes, please accept Prince_Rajkumar's reply as solution.
 

First of all, I think Prince_Rajkumar answer is correct. Because I also encountered a similar problem in my actual measurements.
 

But when I checked if the interaction between the visualizers was turned off, I found that the interaction between slicers created by automatic time and slicers created at normal time was turned off by default. On the contrary, the interaction between slicers created at normal time and slicers created at automatic time is turned on normally.

 

Here are my actual results:

So you can click on the slicer visualization and click on the following image to enter the visual's interaction page, and then modify it:

The following documents are what we hope will help you:

Please find the attached pbix relevant to the case.

Hi, @mmannai 


Thanks for letting us know your user experience.  According to your case description, I do understand how frustrated you are now.

 

Nevertheless, according to our measured results, I feel regretful to inform you that it turns out to be a by-design one.

When you select a slicer, then select another slicer, filter to a non-existent value, and then change the value of the slicer, it will be saved normally, but the slicer result is based on the latest filter range.

Here are links to similar issues:
filter showing default value which is not there if... - Microsoft Fabric Community

 

If you feel that performance needs to be improved, you can also submit an idea on

https://ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ and wait for users with the same needs as you to vote for you and help you realize the idea as soon as possible. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded bed on customers’ feedback.  With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future.

 

Thanks for your understanding.

 

Best Regards,

Leroy Lu

You need to turn on Edit Interaction between the slicers from the format Tab. Once it is set to filter the required slicer, you will see the date slicer will filter based on the selected month

Hello, you  need to enable sync slicers feature, which should be done and then in the Power BI view tab, go to sync slicers:

Hello @lszymk97 thanks for the reply 
it's already done + i'm working on a single page and the filters are already synchronized
the only problem is that the "between" slicer is not showing the same values as the other slicers
like this exemple : 

mmannai_0-1722937151789.png

 

Did you ensure that all your date columns across different tables are properly connected ? Misaligned relationships can cause inconsistencies and also please check whether date formats are the same. Alternatively you can try to use DAX measure for date logic Instead of relying on raw date columns

Actually the 3 slicers are from the same table "date"
i've managed to make it appear correctly for the year slicer, when i select another year it change automatically but when changethe max date slicerand i select a month like this exemple it must shows 31/01 but it shows 14/02

Thank you @Anonymous  for your detailed response.

I tried working with the example you sent, "time.pbix." It worked perfectly until I changed the max date in the between slicer. After that, the other slicer doesn't work correctly, as shown here:

As you can see the max value is not showing correctly if changed manually , you need to reset it after you change it
