can't display the visual

I have been using Power BI Desktop, in the past I have had no problem getting visuals for fields and measures once brough in. After updating my office to 2016 and completing all PowerBI updates I no longer am able to get visuals from an analysis services cube that I routinely pull from in Excel. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and come back with no change. I have already put a frown into support but have no clear response yet. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

    dominickbrookes have you tried to edit the data source? Make sure that with all the updates your connection/creds are still valid?

      I have been able to connect to the source and use it from another computer, that leads me to believe the issue is really more around my computer or perhaps a memory issue.

        Either that or the connections that are cached in the Power BI Desktop are broken. You can remove those cached settings by going to File -> Options and Settings -> Data Source Settings -> Global Permissions -> Clear Permissions (clear = delete the specific data source and try to reconnect.)

    PBIX files are not partial version specific. I have tested it on my local environment, we can open the pbix file that created in pervious version without any issue.

     

    Please check if the fiel can be open in other computer that have lastest version of Power BI installed.

      This is very simple, only installed Windos 10. Your issue will resolve. I faced the same and when installed it worked well.
