Adding Columns from different tables to dropdown slicer causes Power BI Desktop to hang.
When you add a column into a slicer visual which has columns that are from a different table (not necessarily in a relationship), power bi desktop hangs and requires a restart meaning any changes sin...
Thanks for getting back to me.
It's when I copy a slicer visual to use on another dashboard while retaining that slicer's formatting. It saves time doing this rather than creating the slicer from scratch and applying all of the formattings. However, I'm having to remember to remove the column before adding the new one otherwise it causes power bi to hang and ultimately crash. If I've done a fair bit of work prior to this and after an autosave, it's lost.
Regardless, the app shouldn't be crashing in this instance, the slicer should just fail to load any data.
