Hi All,
When I try to copy a visual as an image in Power BI Service the name of my reference line is changing.
Visual in Service:
Visual after copy:
I have tried:
re-creating the visual from scratch - republish
copying and pasting the visual and delting the old one - republish
removing the reference line and adding it again - repblish
No luck. Is this a bug?
Hi @Anonymous,
Thank you for your reply. I think you misunderstood my issue. It has nothing to do with the columns, but the reference line on the visual, in my case I have a measure which is being used to calculate the average and I have named it Average.
In my example, pre-copy the reference line in the visual says:
Average: 66,884
but when I copy it as an image it is saying:
NamePattern_Colour
Hi, @CaveOfWonders
Based on testing, the names of the referenced columns do not change when the report visual is output as an image; you can share the pbix file with no sensitive data or post any data that replicates the problem.

After reproducing as image:
