Synced Slicer behaviour not working properly

[Anonymous]

If I copy a slicer from one page to another and sync it and then go abck and change the alues it makes only the selection available in the synced slicer so I am unable to reselect another option.

I am running Feb version and direct query

Hi @Anonymous,

What do you mean about "change the alues it makes only the selection available in the synced slicer so I am unable to reselect another option."? 

Would you please share detail steps with some screenshots to clarify the issue? 

Best Regards,

I have the same issue.  I've found in Power Bi desktop when a slicer is synced it works as expected but when I choose to deactivate the sync the slicer no longer shows all the elements of that field, just the original element that I selected while the sync was active.  I can see the other elements in the data tables.  I tried removing all the slicers from the report pages and re-inserting them but it would still only list the single element.  Select ALL didn't work either.  Currently trying a refresh of the data to see if that fixes it but am using the import method with a lot of data so its a time consuming process to do that everytime. [Update:  The refresh didn't work.  The slicer has essentially become unusable being unable to select any other elements.  I hope you can replicate the issue and get it sorted asap]

I had to delete the entire page and start fresh, hard to replicate.

Hi all, 
Has anyone found a fix to this? I've had the same issue - I tried to sync some slicers and found that my data is filtered to one year when none of the slicers are on!
Is there a way of clearing all filters applied to a report?
What's the easiest way of replicating the report if that's the only way of fixing it?

Hi All,

Same issue here.

When using the Sync slicer option, and using it for a while, one of my pages is always filtered, even if I remove all the filters/slicers, and remove the syncing of slicers between pages.

I Am using Version: 2.55.5010.641 64-bit (februari 2018), with Import.

How can we fix this, without having to start over with these pages?

I had the same problem, and I fixed it without rebuilding the pages. Here's what worked.

Go to View | Selection Pane. Look for slicers not displaying. I click the eye icon to make each hidden slicer display, then delete it. It appears that making changes to a synced slicer sometimes leaves an orphan slicer (hidden!) on all pages.

Thanks jbennett1030.  Will give that a try.

thanks @jbennett1030  - that fixed it! Had a sneaky slicer lurking in the background
