    Hi tanquoc0309,

     

    I didn't encounter this problem on my side. Please remove the HTMLViewer and re-add it to desktop for a test. Please check if this sample .pbix file contains HTMLViewer works on your side. Besides, if possible, please update your desktop version to the latest one for a test. 

     

    Regards,

    Yuliana Gu

    This issue is 100% reproducible IF you have rows in your dataset that are empty/null. To repro:

     

    1. Add HTMLViewer to the canvas & configure it to use an appropriate column in your dataset

    2. Add a filter control so you can quickly jump between rows

    3. Using the filter, select a row that contains HTML data. the HTMLViewer control will show it

    4. Now select a row that contains no HTML data.

     

    Result: the HTML viewer will continue to show the data from the previous record. 

    Expected: the HTML viewer should clear

     

    My workaround is to use Power Query to create a new column, replacing null values with a single space: 

    = Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns3", "Scheduled Next Week1", each if [Scheduled Next Week] = null then " " else [Scheduled Next Week])

    Microsoft: please work with Hitachi to fix this bug.
