Timeline slicer including extra day

Hey folks,

Just noticed that the Timeline Slicer is for some reason including the first day of the next period...is this the expected behavior? This seems to be happening for all of the granularities. I'm using the latest version available on the Store: 1.3.21

 

Example 1: Selecting a single day, but a simple table view of data shows two days:

Example 2: Similar issue when selecting a single week: Two sundays included:

I'm not able to repro the same issue on my side with latest July 2017 version of PBI Desktop and PBI Service. Do you have a PBIX file which can be used to repro? You can share it to me through online file service like OneDrive.

Hi there, I'm having the same issue now. Since my business stakeholders rely on my powerbi dashboards to report quarterly numbers, they are having a big issue. Sending you an example is not possible because the file is solely for internal use. It basically come down to the exact issue that bahlvin described, it's adding days that should not be included after filtering using the timeline.

Hi!
I have the same problem. By the way, it doesn't always show, sometimes it works fine for "week"-level, but adds 1 day on "day"-level of time hierarchy.

This issue causes great troubles for our company, because we have a lot of reports using time slicer.
Here is my example on powerBI Desktop (2.48.4792.721 64-bit) (same proble in web):
I choose 8th of july, but data table also displays 9th of july.

I can repro the same issue with another old pbix file. I’ve reported it internally to Power BI Team: CRI 42176773
I’ll post here once I get any update about it.

Very strange because the timeline slicer has stopped working for me and my colleagues.
