I got your Question.
In the January 2017 release, it looks like the Search facility on a slicer that is set to a drop-down (with Date) has been removed.
And PowerBI currently only supports search on string fields. PowerBI are not supporting it on a date field.

I have a PowerBI sheet consisting of multiple visuals and one slicer. The underlying data set includes one column called "selected" consiting of either "1" or "null". I want the slicer to always be default setted to only show data where the data entries in column "selected" are equal to "1". I want that the user is still possible to modify the selection and then be able to press a button to return to the pre-selection. I found no way possible to do this. Do you guys have any idea? I am pretty new to PowerBI.
I only found a way to pre-select the whole sheet or slicer to only show values where "selected" =1 but I want the user to be able to further select data. Also I only saw solutions for pre-selected slicer based on dates (e.g. most recent date is pre-selected).
What you need to do is to preselect all filter and save "bookmark" (view tab in powerbi desktop); Then you can assign a bookmark to the button.

I have a Power BI report in which i want users to select "Period Type" in drop down. and when they chose values like Monthly or quarterly it should dynamically change the slicer values to monthly or quarterly.
example is given below.

And i have data set with DimDate Table and FactSales Table. Both are joined Table with One to Many relationship.
Your question looks tailor made for a visual from the marketplace. Check the following link out:
https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104380786?tab=Overview
This slicer will let you choose the frequency and then your slicer will change to reflect that. You can download this from the marketplace. If you have not done this before, you can do this by selecting "Import from marketplace" option after clicking on the 3 dots at the end of the Visualization tab. Hope this helps.
Hoping this is a simple one to resolve.
I have a dataset, a SQL View, with the data imported into my PBIX. I have a date slicer and a number of tables, matrices and charts, over 2 pages. All update whenever I change my slicer, great.
One of my charts needs to show the last 12 months only. I choose Relative Date Filtering from the Visual level filters, select "is in the last", 12 and months from the various drop-downs. When I click Apply filter, my chart goes blank, even though there is data. When I click off the chart and back on again, the drop-down has changed to Days, not months. I have tried with various different options and always defaults back to days.
My Date field is definitely a Date. I have also tried adding a Date table and using that date too but the same thing happens.
Is it me or is there a bug?
Thanks
I'd like to slice across visuals based on dates in MS Power BI (i.e., one filter for say month will slice all visuals for that time period.
I created a date table from http://www.agilebi.com.au/power-bi-date-dimension/ to link to the date columns in each table.
I connected xlsx workbook.

I added tried to edit the relationship so connect the 2 date columns. However, when I insert the filter using the date_table as values and try to use it, the visuals disappear.
Visuals are Gone
However, when I create the slicer and slice across multiple visuals, they go blank.
**I tried changing the type to "Both" but it didn't fix the problem.
The script at AgileBI.com.au creates a date table with a 'Date' field that has a data type of text. You can (surprisingly) do a relationship between 2 fields of different data types and not get an error. However, a join between a text field that contains dates, and a regular date field will mean that rows that look like they should match up do not.
You can confirm this is happening by picking a value in the 2 tables that you think should match up and seeing if they are identical. In my case, I had Tuesday, November 01, 2016 in my imported table, and 11/1/2016 in the other table. While they both represent the same date (in the US), they clearly look different. A good place to see this is in the Edit Relationship screen (and it definitely would have been helpful to include a screenshot of that in your original post).
Anyway, if the dates in your table don't match up to the corresponding (text) dates in the Date table, then when you filter to "2016" on your slicer, the visuals will all go blank.
I would recommend:
Click Edit Queries
On the left hand side, select the table of dates (called Invoked Function by the script)
Click on the header for the Date column (it will likely already be selected)
Select Transform on the ribbon
Change the Data Type from Any to Date
Click Home > Close & Apply
Hope this helps.
My table has the following structure:
I need to analyse the variance of views by page title from the periods in column B: 2016 vs 2015.
For that, I'm using Power BI desktop. I'm trying to split column B in two: one with the period 1/jan/2015-19/ago/2015 and other with 1/jan/2015-19/ago/2015
Is this possible to do? How?
I tried unpivoting but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance for helping!
If I understood your need correctly you might be able to achieve your result with your same data without the need to split your columns:
Insert a Clustered Column Chart visual.
On the "Axis" field of the visual drag your "Title" column.
On the "Legend" field of the visual drag your "Dates" column.
On the "Value" field of the visual drag your "Views" column and then select "Variance" on the dropdown for "Value".
This should compare the variance of the number of views for each of the pages between the 2015 and the 2016 period.
