Possible Bug? Difference between web app & desktop app visual/data

I have a table that is showing different between the web version and the desktop version of the report.

 

All of the null values are showing (Blank) on the web app and on the desktop app they are just blank.  It seems to be a data issue because there is a DAX expression I have that is using (BLANK) as a text value.  Not sure where to begin with this.  Anyone ever see this before?

    I'm having the same issue. The report was published in June and was working fine. No changes were made but now blank records are shown as (blank) on the web version but the desktop version it is correct as an empty cell. Assume its a bug and haven't found a work around yet.

    Hi thmonte,

     

    I was not able to reproduce this behavior on my side. After research, I found this issue has been resolved on 2018/1/4.

     

    In your scenario, does this problem occur to Matrix or Table? You said "It seems to be a data issue because there is a DAX expression I have that is using (BLANK) as a text value", what DAX expression did you use? Please provide more information so that I can try to reproduce. Besides, does this problem exist in all .pbix file or just one specific report file?

     

    Please try to re-create the visual and publish again. Please update your desktop to latest release. Also, rather than publishing report from desktop, click Get data->Files->Local file on service to directly upload report.

      I am using a Matrix.

      Seems like this one file.

       

      DAX expression in this column is just Column C = [Column A] & [Column B]

       

      Where do I select these options?

      Looks like it has to do with a combination of 

      VAR Filter 1

      VAR Filter 2

       

      RETURN
      CALCULATETABLE ( Data, UNION ( Filter1, Filter2 ) )

       

      And
