Adding 2 measures to one table cause "Error Fetching Data for this Visual"

[Vixp]

I recently updated to November 2024 Power BI. Now all my visuals are broken. I last looked at this report on Monday 12/02/24 and it worked fine then updated to November 2024 in Wednesday 12/04/24. Opened the report in desktop on 12/05/24 now I'm getting this.

I have 2 simple measures:

Total Active = Calculate (SUM(Employee[EE Count]), Employee[Status] = "A")

Total Leave = Calculate (SUM(Employee[EE Count]), Employee[Status] = "L")

When I split the measures in 2 seperate tables it displays it. But when I combine the measure (Total Active and Leave = [Total Active] + [Total Leave]) or add both to the same visual it errors out. I can't figure out what's happening besides the update to November 2024 Power BI.

Found the solution. It was x86 installed instead of x64. I don't why it happens but installing Power BI as x64 solved the issue.

Now I can add both measure to a table without getting "Error Fetching Data for this visual See Details"

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same issue with the March 2025 update, but it is not related to the 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) versions, since both versions I tested are 32-bit (x86).

• New Version: 2.141.1253.0 (March 2025) – 32-bit

• Old Version: 2.129.1229.0 (May 2024) – 32-bit

So even with the correct architecture, the issue persists. Any other suggestions?

No suggestions other than going back to old version. I went from November 2024 to March 2025 with the update and some of the measures are now broken - getting the error as above.

This is regardless of architecture.

Went back to Nov '24 version and they're working again. I'm using Parallels on a Mac (ARM), might be the reason..

Thanks @badger_larry for your input! I’ve just tested the lastest 64-bit version and the measures are working fine on my side. So the issue is probably specific to the latest 32-bit version.

The only issue I’m facing now is that some data connectors are missing proper drivers for various data sources, but I think I’ll focus on sorting that out, especially since Microsoft announced they’ll stop updating the 32-bit version starting this summer.

Nice to hear the measures are fine! In my case the culprit is more than likely the VM.

Hope you'll be able to sort the connectors issue

what does the error say? what is the source? have you tried closing and reopening the file?

Error from the picture. "Error Fetching Data for this visual See Details". Data is a xlsx file with 36000 rows. So I don't think it's performance related as that data isn't large at all. I'm thinking report was originally created with x64 but when my IT department updated to November 2024 they did x86. Waiting on them to update me to back to x64 to know more.
