Power Bi Visual tools error message - Couldn't load the data for this visual
good day,
I am using Power BI Version: 2.44.4675.422 64-bit (March, 2017) and starting with basic tasks to familiarize the tool.
as a first step, I've created an excel file with 3 data rows. something like this
file is imported fine to the power BI, as you can see here
but when I tried to create a graph/char, got an error message as follows
interestingly, when I published online, it works and data is published
for your reference I am using windows 7 professional edition (64 bit)
Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi tparvaiz
What happens when you click on See Details?
And would it be possible to download and install the May Update?

Here is an infographic that I created, which shows which features will require a Pro License

Hi tparvaiz,
Since I could not reproduce your problem, please reboot your machine for a try. Does this error prompt when inserting a table visual? What happened if using other visuals?
I noticed that your Power BI desktop version is 2.44.4675.422 64-bit (March, 2017) which is not the latest release. If possible, I would suggest you update your desktop to the neweast release: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/desktop/?WT.mc_id=Blog_Desktop_Update which might fix some old issues existed in old version.
Besides, please follow this article to check current operating system and hardware performance. Minimum requirements
