Anonymous can you confirm what you mean by error? Can you share example/screen shot? If error is coming because of no data it means the measure used to displaying the value can be updated for better error handling.

    I'm talking about a "Can't display the visual" and "Blank" type of errors. 

     

    The requierement is that if any visual of the file has an error or is blank, to show a watermark over the page saying "contact your administrator"

      Anonymous well blank you can control, example a measure below does sum of the amount, if sum is blank it give message otherwise sum value is converted to text and it returns that

       

      My Measure = 
VAR s = SUM( Table[Amount] )
RETURN
IF ( ISBLANK( s ), "Contract Admin", FORMAT( s, "#####0.00" ) )

        Thank you! 

         

        This solution would have to be measure by measure, right? Beside, the blank can be handled, but visuals' native errors won't... 

         

        We had previously some issues with custom visuals that stopped working with the Desktop's upgrades. 

         

        Regards!
