Curious as to how long it takes for these type of issues to get resolved. Per the send button in my screen shot below, what team does it go to within the Microsoft Organization? Also, how can I track the progress and where it is in the queue?

hi @PBI-Curious 

what is your data source? is there any element [Key Measures]?

or it was created in your pbix-project?

Sales and Revenue data pulled from a SQL Server. there is no Key Measure in the data source. The key measure was created in my pbix - project.

 

Much appreciate your help!
