@Anonymous I am experiencing a similiar issue...can you elaborate how you resolved.  In my case, no report that has a Matrix on the first page will render in Chrome/Edge (works fine if Firefox)...this just cropped in the last few days.  Intrestingly enough if I have a different landing page that doesn't have a matrix and then navigate to it, it works fine.

Thanks for the feedback.

points 1 and 2 does not help, as it seems that the restriction is applied by Chrome not to allow requests from different domains (in this case embedded Power BI is trying to reach own domain).

We were able to override the special cookie from the server side to allow cross domain requests.
