Default selection does not apply to Card visualization

Dear Power BI'ers.

I have been struggling with a card visualization on a dashboard. The dashboard contains two filters, which have default selections. However, when I publish the dashboard to Power BI Service, the card ignores these default selections and show the aggregated totals of all rows instead, when it is initially loaded.

As soon as I select another member on the filter and then go back to the default, the card shows the correct number. I only have to this on one of the filters - after that, the card will show the correct aggregation applied by BOTH filters.

I find this extremely strange - and have not yet been able to produce a workaround. When I change the type to a Bar Chart, it works.. On Cards and Tables it does not.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steffen
