    Mine is the same, so we could be onto a winner here.  I will sometimes get an error on tabs without the matrix visual too, but only in report files where i've used it.

     

    I might make a test file where i remove this visual and see if it fixes it.

    Nope that didn't fix it.  I've now gone to a tab, removed every visual and done a Save/Close.  Going to this tab has not spawned an error.  So i'll try removing visuals 1 at a time until i find it.

    Are you by any chance using a custom visual "Hierarchy Slicer"?  My error seemed to go away on the tab where i removed that visual.

Hi Ross,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I removed Hierarchy Slicer and the issue does not exist any more. I think, the slicer is probably triggering the issue.

 

Somehow that slicer is one of the requirement, we cant remove.

I have raised a ticket with microsoft. If I hear back from them with any resolution. I shall update the same to you as well.

I have submitted a new version for approval that solves the 'Unexpected error' you are facing in Power BI Desktop. And after approval this version will be available asap.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience..

 

Thanks, JP

    Thanks JP.

    Hierarchy Slicer is very useful visualization. I hope the patch is available to us soon.
