Detect Anomalies feature not always showing the Explanations pane

I am using the latest version on Power BI Desktop on Windows 11. I have a dataset that I am able to get the Detect Anomalies feature to work on. Last month I was able to click on one of the anomaly marks and the Explanations pane would appear. Now when I click on a mark it does nothing. I am logged in and as far as I know none of the settings have changed. Is there some setting I should check that might cause this issue or has anyone experienced this?

Thanks for your response. I know it works in Desktop too because I have done it. I believe you need to be signed in but not sure if there is something else needed as well.

Hi @dangermaus 

Just tested it on my end - nothing happens when I click on any of the anomaly points. This seems to be the case with Desktop only. The explanation still appears in the service.
