Measure Renaming does not work inside Live Connection

Dear Community,

I have an error which only appears in a report with a live connection and not in the data model.

This is unusual and looks like an bug inside a live connection report 

Attached is a sketch of the process. 

 

1. display of dynamic titles within a report via

a. Card Visual

b. Text Box via Text conditional Formatting 

2. renaming of measures

 

 

1. display of dynamic titles within a report via (Left inside Dataset, Right Inside a Live Connection Report)

Renaming the Measure from "Dynamic Titel 1" to "Dynamic Titel renamed" deploy dataset and refresh report with live connection.

The report page inside my dataset works without any problem and the card and text box visuals refreshed well. 

But the report page inside my live connection report broke. Both the Card visual and the text box can't get the renamed measure. 

And here another "bug" due to the conditional formatting setting for the text box you cant change any setting for this visual. there is no way to repair the visual because the conditional formatting cant be access due the error inside the visual

For the card visual this notthing bad, you can replace the measure by drag and drop.

Whats your oppinion is this a bug inside the live connection report?

Do you have any idea how you can repair the text box visual without access to the formatting section?

 

Let me know 🙂


Best

Manuel

@ManuelW , If you rename a measure in the dataset, the information is only available with the dataset. 

 

The report which uses this dataset on refresh finds a missing measure/column and gives an error. That is expected

Dear @amitchandak , that is not the behaviour which I expected. If you rename the measure inside the dataset the dataset gets the new information and this should work for a live connection too but does not. 

 

Additional the format option for the text box is broken and there is no option to repair this. 
Do you have any idea for that?
