cabc_xlorla, thanks for the kudos. Honestly, I haven't installed the 02/21/2020 version yet (doing it now 😁), but if EITHER of the February updates are causing issues, it is recommended to revert back to December 2019 version until a fix has been announced by PBI team.

 

Again, earlier February version 2.78.5740.721 is working for me.

 

Good luck!

Danny

    Hi all,

    I found this in the comments section of feature summary (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-february-2020-feature-summary/)

    "we plan to have a fix for it in the next couple of days.
    In the meantime, there is a workaround: in Power BI Desktop, you will need to go to File > Options and settings > Options and update the Regional Settings -> Application language for your locale so that it matches your OS locale settings, or uses the Windows default display language."

     

    Hopefully, this helps someone out there...

      Hi musicbydannyd where did you find that version: 2.78.5740.721 ?

       

      Also I tried that option of switching the regional setting but it did not work for me  : (

       

      Thanks for the reply mate!
