Can't change PowerBI Desktop settings: August 2023 update

Hi,

I can't change PowerBI Desktop settings. I wanted to disable the Auto date/time and after I did that the OK button grayed out. I already have a date table and I don't need the date hierarchy.

I tried to modify other settings as well, and I got the same gray OK button.

Thanks!

Hi @AndreeaV ,

 

Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling?

It may be a transient issue that can be resolved by reinstalling.

 

Best Regards,

Stephen Tao

Strange, I can't replicate that behavior. Are you using an import model? My version is 2.120.731.0

Hi,

My version is 2.120.963.0     

I am importing data from web. But even with a blank PowerBI file, I still can't change settings because the OK button grays out.

  • Are you able to make any other changes within Options, or is the OK button still greyed out?   
  • Is the installation from the App Store or as a Download?
  • Is this your personal machine, or is it managed as part of an Enterprise?

 

 

Hi. No, I'm not able to change any setting.

Installed from the App Store.

Personal machine. 

I never had such an issue. 

Same version, can not replicate issue.
