My slicer is set to Relative on Power BI desktop, but when I publish to app.powerbi.com it revers to a slider
I have tried resaving my file as a different name and re-uploading, and clearing my cache in Chrome, but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Hi @chickenlicken ,
I can't reproduce this on my side, it works well on both desktop and service side. What version of power bi desktop are you test? Can you please share more detail information to help us clarify you scenario?

I am using Version: 2.75.5649.861 64-bit (November 2019)
I just checked the report on the app again and it was displaying correctly as a relative date. However, when I clicked away from that page to the front page of the report, and then clicked back to the page with the slicer on via the bookmark, it had reverted to slider again. It had also reapplied some old filters that were previously applied but that I hadn't applied during that session.
Could it something to do with the bookmark? The same seems to have happened now in Desktop. Is the bookmark storing old information?
Hi @chickenlicken ,
It sounds like your bookmark does not update correctly so that it restores the old version bookmark filter effects. Did this issue only appear on a specific bookmark?
If you create a new bookmark and repro these steps, did this issue appears again?

This did seem to work - so this means I guess that the bookmark needs to be put in place only after the page is finalised? And needs to be deleted and recreated each time the page is adjusted? Is that correct?
