an error occurred while rendering the report
Hi,
Starting with February 2017 update when i open Power BI Desktop (with or without pbix file) always get this message:
An error ocurred while rendering the report.
Any idea?
Hi All,
A fix has been deployed to address this issue. Could you follow steps below from this thread to see if it works now?:smileyhappy:
1) Close all instances of Power BI Desktop
2) Open file explorer and navigate to the folder <system drive>:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop\CEF\cache
- replace <system drive> with your operating system hard disk partition
- replace <user> with your user profile name, typically the alias you login to Windows with
3) Delete all contents of this folder
4) Restart Power BI Desktop
Regards

Hi all,
I realise this is an old topic, but since this is one of those generic errormessages that aparently still exist in 2024, I'll share my case for those who encounter the same.
My error was this:
An error occurred while rendering the report.
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'findTable')
True
Copying the errormessage to notepad i found that the new DAX Queries which are saved in the model corrupted my file. Deleting my DAX queries solved the error.
Cheers,
Niels
p.s. I'm not sure it's related, but I've never had this error before I started using OLS. I also see some remnants of earlier changes regarding OLS that I made in the file, which are not longer there. Maybe one thing affects the other, maybe not. Just my two cents.

Hi Ahmet,
in my case it was sufficient to remove the DAX code from the DAX Query window(s). After that I could save my file without errors. However, seeing how old this topic is, there might be other causes for this error still. Did you try to copy and analyse the errormessage in an editor like notepad?
Cheers,
Niels

Good Morning!
I also had this error when using the TEXT FILTER button of Marketplace, after changing the new feature (Updated ribbon) so this button stopped working where it started giving the title error!
Soon, I disabled the feature (Updated ribbon) and everything worked for me successfully !!! 🤔😊- MBFFrequent Visitor
I'm using Nov 2019 as well, and having the same issue with the Text Filter.
Unfortunately my updated ribbon was already disabled.
Have tried the clear cache option as well, using C:\Users\<username>\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App\ to no avail.

I experinced the same problem in a report that has a Table visual. To solve the problem I just turned on and off the background toggle in the table visual and the problem was solved solved.

Looks like there's a bug with the ArcGIS visual. Try disabling it in options -> preview features.

I am having the same issue. I can't get the ArcGIS integration to work.

I was able to clear the cache, but that didn't work. When I tried to disable the map, i get an error when i open File/Options and Settings/Options - it says object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I'm having the same issue with the 32-bit Desktop Client version, and it didn't work.

It's the second time that this has happened to me after the August update.
First time I had to uninstall PBI desktop and I'll have to do the same now.
Deleting the cache didn't solve the issue

Hi Team,
I also encountered the same problem and tried all possible means, but still could not resolve. Please suggest some ideas.
Because of the above problem, I am not able to see map visual
