HI FrançoisD,

AFAIK, current power bi filters are not able to distinguish between the ‘all selected’ and 'no item selected' effects.(applied 'all select' effect equal to no filter applied) Have you tried to modify the filter ranges to confirm if the client API can respond with these filter effects?
