Whenever I tap on the bell icon at the top to create an 'alerts' for a specific card on one of my dashboards the app immediately crashes. The specific card it does this on is displaying a measure, which is important because other cards that just use a field from the dataset seem to work just fine. Just so you know, the measure is using a calculate and sum function to display prior day sales. I'm using a iPhone 6s Plus on iOS 9.3.2 and the PBI app is up to date.

Today I updated Power BI Desktop to the latest version and I noticed that importing data from SSAS Tabular using a MDX or DAX query ignores this query completely and sends you to the model browse form. Posted comparison between 2016 May Update and previous versions in Community forum: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Power-Bi-Desktop-May-Update-Import-data-from-SSAS-ignoring-DAX/m-p/41340#M15630

In Azure you can assign tags to resources using a Key:Value format. When this content pack is imported into Power BI the Tags are formated in json and are not parsed. So the column is not readable and too long to use. Can this content pack be fixed to parse the Tags column?

I have a great repo case in an Excel file. Trying to understand the issue without that file is nearly impossible; with the file it is easy. The problem is with the following measures: 1) KeyCount:=CALCULATE(COUNT([Key])) 2) KeyCount PrevMnth:=CALCULATE([KeyCount], PREVIOUSMONTH('Date'[Date])) 3) KeyCount FYTD PrevMnth:=TOTALYTD([KeyCount], PREVIOUSMONTH('Date'[Date]),"8/31") 4) KeyCount FYTD PrevMnthx:=TOTALYTD([KeyCount PrevMnth], 'Date'[Date],"8/31")

I have a report where I keep several items pre selected on a slicer. I cannot use the report level filter because, for some reason, it arbitrarily selects a percentage of items to list. The problem isn't that a slicer must be used, I really don't mind the slicer. The problem is, when adding new selections it randomly clears a portion of those who were already selected. This is a list of our vendors (around 281 total) and we highlight about 25 - 30 to monitor. If I add five more, the slicer will go from having 30 selected to having about 22 selected plus the one I just clicked. There is no rhyme or reason and it is never the same ones dropped. It is very frustrating to have to go back through the entire list to find what was dropped and add new ones. Any suggestions? Can slicers please maintain all selections when adding new ones?

Dear all, since the new update we noticed a problem with the X axis in the stacked area chart. No all the values of the X axis are showed in the chart. For example, we have set on the X axis date from 31/12/15 to 01/06/16 but the last date showed in the stacked area chart is the 18/05/16. Is there an issue with this chart? Thank you

I added a BMP image to a report in PBI Desktop. It looked great and the display did not degrade the image (a company logo) at all. However, when I published the report to the PBI service, that same image had heavily degraded. This is the only way to get images onto reports in the PBI service. Can this process be fixed to not degrade images added in Desktop? (I can send examples if needed)

Hi, I created a report in the desktop app and published that online. I then linked it to a content pack (The data source, report and Dashboard). However, only users using IOS can actually slice and dice with the report on the mobile phones, whereas android users cannot see the report at all in the group. I can however see the report in my workspace and interact with it with my android device, but if I log into the group where I published the content pack, I cant see it?
