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.

    pvarley, umerqadir, I can reproduce this issue that the timeline slicer resets to default when clicking on another part in another chart. I will report this issue internally and post back once I get any updates.
