Hi umerqadir,

Could you please describe more details about your scenario? We need to know that what version of Power BI Desktop you use and in which type of visualizations you get the timeline slicer issue. We will appreciate it if you post a screenshot.


Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

    Hi Lydia, I am facing the problem in all my reports. So here is what happens. I select a period on the timeline and it gets selcted fine, visuals supposed to be filtrered it by are filtered corrrectly. But, when I cross highlight or click on the other visual that is set to not filter/interact with the timeline. The date selection is not impacted however the selected cells on the timeline are not showing anymore and all the cells are shown as selected. The time selection impact on all other visuals still remains

        I see the same problem in Power BI Desktop Version 2.34.4372.501 64-bit (April 2016).

         

        Here are the steps I can use to reproduce the problem:

        1. Begin with a report that has a Stacked Bar Chart, a Timeline slicer and several Chicklet slicers
        2. Select a value on one of the Chicklet slicers
        3. Select the year 2015 on the Timeline
        4. Unselect the value from step 2 on the Chicket slicer
        5. Observe that the Timeline slicer changes to select all dates

        On Step 5, the bar chart sometimes changes to display data for all dates, and other times it continues to display just the 2015 data. 

         

        1. Nothing selected2. Chicklet selected3. 2015 selected on Timeline4. Chicklet unselected - Timeline loses selection

        I would expect the Timeline to stay on 2015 when I change selections on the Chicklet slicers. This is the behavior in Excel PowerPivot.
