SharePoint List Not Working Correctly In Report Connected to Dataset

Hi everyone,

 

I have a strange issue I hope someone can help with.

 

I have created a dataset which is published on the cloud which contans a connection to a SQL database then 5 SharePoint Online Lists.

 

All the data is showing in the tables so I know the connections are ok and there is no issues there.

 

I have then connected a new report to the published dataset on the cloud and I can see all the tables and columns inside the report.

 

But I am having issues using the column data with some of the visuals, for example if I have a text column titled 'City' in the SharePoint list, I can use it in a table see the data, a slicer and see the options. But I cannot get that column to show in the card visual.

Another example would be I have a column named 'Hex Colour Code', but if I try use that in conditional formatting the dialogue will not accept it.

 

All the above works if I try the examples in the report attatched to the dataset or if I create a blank report and just add the connections to the SharePoint Online lists.

 

Has anybody experienced this before and could possible offer any advise?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

    In the Properties pane, ensure Data Type is set to Text. The check the Default Summarization. If it's set to "None," try changing it to "First".
