Wordcloud not showing any data

Hi,

 

Suddenly the word cloud stopped showing data. It says " to view this visual, click Enable custom visuals in the security bar above" but there is no Enable custom visuals button anymore as it used to be there. Any help is appreciated.

Hi aftabansari2512,

 

In Power BI Desktop, the setting under File->Options and settings->Options->Security will only remove the warning message when importing a new custom visual. It doesn't help on enable/disable a custom visual. In this scenario, since you can't see the "Enable Custom View" button, it may have some unexpect removal or corruption of WordCloud viual. Please re-import the .pbiviz file and update existing visual.

Check File | Options and settings | Options | Security and make sure the box for "Show security warning when adding a custom visual to a report" is selected. Not sure if that is really the same thing but worth a shot.
