Corrupt Excel Pivottable; same number on all months

We have some Excel files connected to a semantic model hosted in Power BI. Worked perfect for long period but since a week we get users complaining about a behaviour that is completely wrong; the total number is also displayed on all months;

Nothing works expect a 'clear all' in Excel which empties the complete pivot. Then we can rebuild succesfully.

 

Did somebody have had this before? Every hint we can get is very welcome

Issue is fixed. It seems to be caused by a DAX statement with a filter on the monthnumber which gives back different values for the same DAX statement with the same pivottable. Very strange, but fixed it with KEEPFILTERS.

Hi @pborah  the semantic model is the source for the Excel file

@MikeHendriks are the excel files acting as data source to the semantic model or is the semantic model acting as a data source for the excel files?
