Default selection retained on filter pane even when the value does not exist in backend
- 4 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
It is primarily because Power BI stores report metadata and dataset separately. Hence, when you open the report after some items remove from data source and do refresh against the data source, the data itself does remove from the dataset but the selection on the report still exists. You could do these operations to make the change reflected to your report.
if these filters are set in Reading mode of the report, refresh the visuals on the report, and manually tick another choice on it or click on Erase icon to clear the filter. If the selection on filter pane is saved with the original report, you need do it in Edit mode of the report.

Design decision. Same happens with slicers. If the data changes, you have to change your default. Power BI assumes that data might come back so retains your choice. Otherwise reports with lot of pre-set selections would wipe them out if there was a single bad refresh with bad data.
