Date slicer not showing up for some users (picture)

 

So for some users when they look at this dashboard (in the first image below) the highlighted date slicer doesn't show up properly. There's simply a m/d/yyyy string. 

 

In the second image, it shows up correctly (different computer, same browser, though slightly different chrome versions). It also doesn't work in firefox correctly.

 

What's interesting is other date slicers work fine. It's only within the dashboard where it doesn't appear to work. When they open the actual report, it works fine.

Hey @Zarlot531 ,

 

And, I didn't ddo the "check what Microsoft says" on the last response.  Here is what Microsoft Support has stated:

 

Awareness

 
Power BI customers using a date slicer that has been pinned to a dashboard may experience rendering issues with the visual after refreshing the dashboard. Engineers have identified the root cause and the fix is expected to be deployed by end of the day of 11/05/2021.

Hi @Zarlot531 ,

 

I have not seen this behavior before, but, apparently some other have.  I think you should add yourself to this thread (which appears to be current right now) with the same/similar issue:

Solved: Re: Users are unable to use date slicers in app da... - Microsoft Power BI Community

 

Another similiar'ish issue I found determined taht the problem was the field being used in the slicer was not actually a "Date" field - and so it didn't work right once published.
