Good Morning
I have data with multiple pivot tables. I have a slicer with date ranges, example 07-29-18 to 08-11-18, that brings the data together with this date range. When I choose this date range the data shows blank. When I choose Blank on my slicer the data shows up. I have removed the data and re-entered it. File is very large and has been working up to this date. If I go to the next date range I get the data

Did you try re-inserting the slicer
User
16/08/2018 - 03:37

Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 03:38
okay
User
16/08/2018 - 03:39
When I put data in for the next period it works. It's just this date range
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 03:40
I am not able to figure out why is this happening specifically for a value
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 03:40
For slicers, to be connected to different pivot tables, those pivot tables should be created from same data source
User
16/08/2018 - 03:40
me neither and that's why I reached out. I've been working on this for 2 days now
User
16/08/2018 - 03:41
with powerpivot you can use mulitple data sources
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 03:42
Are other filters also applied at the same time?
User
16/08/2018 - 03:42

applied
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 03:42
okay
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 03:44
Apart from these, I can't see any other reasons why the slicer won't be working
User
16/08/2018 - 03:44
I know and that's why i reached out
Excelchat Expert
16/08/2018 - 03:45
Mostly, this issue would be because of the source data only
