    This bug has been fixed in the next release of Power BI Desktop which should be available for download early September.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have and it works as intended in my IDE.

    Could you provide the list of all Python installations on your machine (installation type, path, architecture) e.g. Miniconda, c:\miniconda3, 64 bit ?

      Sure, I have 3 different python environments, all managed through Anaconda. The paths are:

      • C:\apps\Anaconda3\envs\py27_dev
      • C:\apps\Anaconda3\envs\py36
      • C:\apps\Anaconda3\envs\py36_dev

      They are all x64 installations. The difference between the 3 is the versioning and the different modules installed in each.

      I have also tried setting up a fresh environment to work with in Power BI but that didn't work either.
