Erratic filter / Slicer behavior

Hello,

I have a very erratic behavior on one of my Power BI dashboard and I can't figure it out.
I use a very simple measure where I calculate the number of rows in a table removing filters on "Customers":

VAR _test = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Data extract'),ALL('Data extract'[Customer]))
 
I works just fine, until I use the synchronized slicers on the "Filter" tab, when I do so the amount of rows depends on the customer slicer as well, meaning the amount of rows reflects the selected slicers values (as expected) but the "Customer" slicer as well, which is not as expected along with it does happen only when I change the "Filter" tab slicers

I checked table relations (very simple as it is only connected to the date table), it does not happen when on a brand new tab, I tried Filter, Keepfilter, etc ... with no luck

Does anyone has ever experienced the same? Is there any context transfer issue you can figure out?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @T_BZH ,

 

Viewing Slicer Synchronization Settings: Ensures that the Client slicer is not inadvertently synchronized with other slicers.
You can manage this setting by going to the View menu, selecting Synchronize Slicers, and then reviewing each slicer's settings to ensure they are configured as expected.

If the problem persists, please provide relevant screenshot information and describe it.

Dear @v-kongfanf-msft 

 

Thank you for you prompt reply.

Slicers do sync from home page to problematic tab, it is as designed and expected, the thing is that behavior becomes problematic only when I move some slicers like "Date", "Country".
For example :

 

Formula :  VAR _test = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Data extract'),ALL('Data extract'[Customer]))

 

6 lines in my table :

1 - No action (No filters)

VAR_Test returns 6

2 - Customer A is selected with no other filter on "Home" tab

VAR_Test returns 6 (Works!)

3 - Country slicer selects "CA" on "Home" Tab (No other filter)

VAR_Test returns 2

4 - As Country Slicer is still selecting "CA" I select Customer "A"

VAR_Test returns 1 <- This is what I mean, as I remove filters on Country it should still count 2

 

Hope this clarify my situation, I did not provide screenshots as Data is a way more complex.

 

Thanks again for you help Community!
