First of all, many thanks for your support! 

However, I will not be lucky to do this with mock data. 

 

It is simply a Power BI report designed with Power BI Desktop release (October) and published on our on-premise Power BI Report Server (October). The data is coming from a SSAS tabular model. 

 

In safari on iOS the search box works well but of course the layout is not very phone friendly. In the current Power BI app for iOS, the search function is not working. Once again I re-created the report and clicked on the magnifier and pressed return and the SSAS did not receive any MDX statement. 

 

I also tried to reduce the number of values passed to the component but with no effect. Is there a way for me to debug if the asynchronous call gives an error message in the app?

 

best regards,

Sebastian

Can you share at least a screenshot from Power BI mobile App that we could sent to developer for further investigation?

    Dear Team,

     

    of course. Attached you will find 2 screenshots. One from the Powr BI Desktop designer and one from iOS.

     

    Power BI DesigneriOS

     

    While the slicer search at the bottom for "AddressDesc" is working, the search is not working for the text search on top. Of course the text search, the slicer and the table use the same field and there is only 1 address dimension with 1 field called "AddressDesc" in the SSAS tabular model.

     

    Entering "Chi" in the text search should result in some address entries (as you can see in the table) but the SSAS does not receive any MDX command (with the slicer I can trace it).  In case you tell me it is perfectly working in the development department then something else must be wrong in my setup. 

     

     

    Best regards and thanks, 

    Sebastian 

     

    PS: The border boxes around visual components on the mobile view are simply annoying, useless and not welcomed at all. There are also ticket requests open for it.

      Did you rename AddressDesc column?

        Good morning Ignat,

         

        I don't think so. Since I also re-created the report I doubt it would be necessary to rename "AddressDesc" to "AddressDesc". In some hours I can test it on Android and will give you further feedback. No I dont get an Android phone but tested on a second iPhone and it is still not working.

         

        Dimension Address

         

        Does renaming have an impact? 

         

        best regards,

        Sebastian
