    Hello Ski900,

     

    I found the git repo for this custom visual and the creator of this visual has fixed this bug. For some reason, the visual has not been updated in the app store but you can pull his repo and package the visual with the "guid" field in the pbiviz.json file modifed to something unique. If you do this and then install that visual in Power BI, you will find that this is not an issue anymore.

     

    In case your environment does not have the Power BI Developer Tools installed, which you need to pacakge the visual, you can follow the instructions here and once the environment is set up, jump straight to the packaging step.

     

    Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

     

    Cheers,

    Sid

      Hi druzado,

       

      How far in the process that I outlined earlier have you gotten? Were you able to pull the repo and package the visual and install it manually in PowerBI?

       

      It is extremely important to modify the "guid" field in the pbiviz.json file before you package it. Else PowerBI will just use the version that is available in the store which is the old version with the error.

       

      Let me know,

      Sid

        Sorry, I forgot to change the guid field, I thought that by importing it from a file it was enough. Now it works, thanks a lot for your help!!!!
