Key Influencers Error: "could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.ServicePlatform.UnityContainer"

[soliverc]

It is a fresh pbix file. 

I loaded an excel file, and added a column to the key Influencers visual and got the error message. 

How can I fix this?

Hi all,

There is known issue that affects Power BI Desktop installed from Microsoft Store.
We are working on the fix and will be providing update in the next 8 hours. In the meantime, this issue can be mitigated by uninstalling PBI Desktop from MS Store and the installing PBI Desktop August release from download center:

Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center

Hi @soliverc -The error you're encountering, "could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.ServicePlatform.UnityContainer'", is related to a missing or corrupted assembly that Power BI relies on to run the Key Influencers visual.Ensure that the data you are trying to analyze with the Key Influencers visual is correctly configured. The Key Influencers visual requires clean and well-structured data, so check if there are any issues with the data type or structure.

still issue exist, please uninstall and reinstall the power BI Desktop s/w using above link.
