Hello Saludos! 

Thank you so much!
Your answer truly made me understand that the problem is not only mine, but general, and therefore it will be solved, I really hope! I also have been struggling with it since morning .. to no avail.
I've already posted to Issues:

Please write your comment there and vote for the solution.
Indeed, it is extremely important, because my report is very important for our company and I suppose as yours. It seems similar reports from many users also do not work now.

 

Best regards

Hello Eugenia. I've been tracking the problem, and it looks like someone found a temporary solution. The solution is to change the privacy level to the original font in Google Sheets, so that it can be seen by "anyone who has the link".

I am a little concerned about this solution, as it slightly impairs the privacy of the data source. I'd like to see if we can contact Power Bi support to see if there's another solution.

I attach the link to the user who found that "provisional solution".
