Unable to Filter Main Table with Slicer Selection in Power BI Dashboard

I am facing an issue in Power BI where I am unable to filter the main table visual based on the slicer selection in my dashboard. Here are the details of my setup:

  1. I have a main table visual that is populated using data from an API.
  2. I have created a separate table named "DateSelection" with a column named "CurrentPeriod" that contains the available periods (in text format).
  3. I have added a slicer visual using the "CurrentPeriod" column from the "DateSelection" table.
  4. When I select a period from the slicer, the main table visual does not update to reflect the selected period. It remains unchanged.

I have tried the following steps but haven't been able to resolve the issue:

  • Ensured that the relationship between the "CurrentPeriod" column in the "DateSelection" table and the corresponding column in the main table is established correctly.
  • Verified that the "CurrentPeriod" column in both tables is of the same data type (text).
  • Checked the interactions and made sure that the slicer visual is set to affect the main table visual.

I am using Power BI 2.115.663.0 64-bit (March, 2023).

I would appreciate any insights or suggestions to resolve this issue and enable the filtering of the main table visual based on the slicer selection. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

@golia , You have created a date table with all the dates and joined that with your table on Date, Join is 1-many single directional from date to fact.  Join is active

The date table has current period filter and you are using that

 

If interactions are on and join is active it should work

 

I have done similar stuff here

Default Date Today/ This Month / This Year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfn05preQYA

 

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
