@Jagdip1968,

I am not able to reproduce the issue on my side. Could you please uninstall Power BI Desktop and re-install it? Please make sure you install the latest version of Power BI Desktop(2.52.4921.581).

Lydia

Thanks for your reply but it still doesn't work. My version is 

Version: 2.52.4921.581 64-bit (November, 2017)

 I did uninstall the product and install it several times but no success.

@Jagdip1968,

Would you mind sharing me the Excel file with dummy data so that I can test?

Regards,
Lydia
