Bullet Chart 1.8.0 broken
Is anyone else having issues with bullet charts (the non-OKViz ones) since the July 2018 update? Our main KPI dashboard relies heavily on these, and since the recent update these charts have all vanished when viewed on the latest version of Power BI Desktop and also Service. When I open the report with the June version of desktop it's fine though.

Hi mahawkins3,
Based on my test, it could work on my side:
Service:
Desktop:
I would suggest you test again. If issue persists, would you please share your pbix file if possible? Also you can test with our sample report on your side to see if the same issue occurs.

Hi Daniel - sorry for the delay in replying. Afraid I haven't been able to get it to work; also I cannot send you the pbix as it contains sensitive data.
I did wonder if it might just be existing bullet charts that somehow stopped working and new ones that I create would work, but this isn't the case - new instances of the visual do not work either. I think I'll have to just scrap them and use the OKViz version instead.
It seems like the bullet chart visual now only works if you include something in the Category field. I had previously left this blank as I only want to show one value per bullet rather than breaking things down by various categories, and it worked just fine, but since the update this no longer seems to work. This is fixable, if a little annoying!
