Sounds like an old bug that should have been fixed but clearly isn't

The workaround sounds like you also add the filters in your slicers to your filter pane of your pivot.
Not great

Very interesting, when I make a double click on "I2" in sheet "Table loaded in PowerPivot" I get 12 records. From sheet "Table direct Pivot" I get correctly 3 records back.
Is my Excel / PowerPivot broken? My colleagues have the same issue.
I have this Excel Version (2016) and Build: - JKPieterseAug 31, 2018Silver ContributorIf I DL your example file and double-click cell I2 on either worksheet, I get a new worksheet inserted (as expected). Both new worksheets contain the same three records:
ID Provider Shipper Country Consignee Country Weight
18 TNT CN DE 67.7
17 DHL CN DE 10.1
4 UPS DE DE 27.8 - null nullAug 31, 2018Copper ContributorHello Jan Karel,
this workaround won't help. I've added all slicers to the page filter. The result of the drill down is still wrong, when the data source is coming from Power Pivot. - JKPieterseAug 31, 2018Silver ContributorNow I understand. This is a known issue with pivot tables in Excel: If a slicer filters your data busing a field which is NOT in the pivottable anywhere, the filter on that field is not used in the drill-down. The work-around is to add the slicer field to the pivot table, for example as a page filter.
