    SOLUTION - I worked with PowerPlatform support to diagnose the problem.  It seems the issue was introduced in the OCT21 release.  We tried the SEP21 release, and it works properly.  Uninstall OCT21, version: 2.98.6830, and install SEP21 from here:

    If you installed PowerBI Desktop from the Microsoft store it will automatically update, but when you install manually, it will NOT automatically update.  Just something to be aware of going forward.  During this troubleshooting, the issue was of course reported and will be addressed in a subsequent release.
