Visuals are failing

Hi,

      In our organization, we get data from sharepoint. Sometimes for unknown reasons

all the date variables convert themselves into text variables which causes all visuals to fail.

Could someone please explain why this is happening?

 

 

Thanks,

When you create a list in SharePoint by default the data type is Text ( most of the times) and some times only numbers, if you are using sharepoint list check all the data types in the list and change them to required data type so you will not have any issue in power bi, 

The problem statement what you have mentioned above is not of Power BI
