I have been having on-and-off issues with the Power BI web service that my company is using for reporting purposes. We are using Power BI Desktop and uploading the Desktop file to the Power BI web service (app.powerbi.com) so that others in the organization can view the reports and visuals. However, we have intermittent issues where the webpage will take a while to load, and then we will see a bunch of X's on all of the visuals with "unable to load" errors everywhere. Previously, there was a known bug posted on the Power BI Support page. This time there is not. However, I have not changed anything within the Power BI Desktop version - only refreshed the data from the same data sources. Any help on this?

We have an issue whereby when a user shares a dashboard with another user (not via a content pack), the user receiving the shared dashboard, receives two duplicate emails. Although not a huge issue, it is quite annoying having two emails for the same dashboard share. Is this something to do with the way the users have been set up? Or a known issue within PowerBI?

The e-mail and notifications that are sent for 'alerts's thresholds doesn't support non-us chars. The localized version (in my case swedish) doesn't work. The translated text comes though with garbage chars instead of Swedish chars e.g. ÅÄÖåäö.

Published reports worked well until the update yesterday. Now it seems to only load one content tab. Also, I'm submitting an issue (as noted by, "Issue...s Please fix the following issue...." on this page), but the submit button says, "Post Idea" and this text box says, "describe your idea.." Could the delineation of these two forum area's be more clear?

The tables with conditional formatting look fine in desktop. As of last week,when published, the table visuals which have conditional formatting are completely blank, just white squares.

Open custom link in the same tab does not work Online Power BI -> Created an Image Tile -> Entered the URL of an existing report within the same workspace -> Selected "No" for the "Open custom link in the same tab?" question, still opens the report on the same tab! Need to open reports on a separate tab.

On the Dashboard i right-click on a block chart to show posts. Then i click on the three small dots in the upper right corner to export data to the filetype .xlsx. Every time i get the following message: Error importing data. Sorry! Your visual data could not be exported at present. Try again later. Whats the problem?

The same way things work in other Azure services. It doesn't make sense having to pay the same amount of money for a Production and Dev/Test environments.

In the dialog box that appears when you create a custom column, there should be a drop-down box where we can select the desired data type of the new column. As-is, we have to add a second step specifying data type or manually in the formula bar/advanced editor type ", type text" or whatever; it would be far more convenient to be able to do that right within the dialog box.

The current quality in rendering visuals in iOS app is poor! - Fonts (Calibri) are not displayed correctly. - Dimension and facts columns in pivot tables do not scroll in sync. Looks like the values lag behind the caption while scrolling fast. - The double arrow button to maximize the view is missing. - In a black/grey-striped background in tables there are sometimes unattractive white lines between the rows. Please deliver the same optical quality as on Android!

These aren’t helpful. I will now turn off notifications entirely because there isn’t an option to opt out of notifications that are just “hey, don’t forget to open the App!” I access power BI on my desktop 99% of the time. I’ll use the app on my phone when I need to and don’t need to be hounded.

When setting up a report we can now choose which filters will be displayed/hidden/locked on the filter pane. Excellent!! However, it is still possible to remove the filter by the end user by hitting "x". By clicking reset to default all filters will reappear. However not every user will get this directly or they can be removed accidentally. It would be a great feature if there was an option where we can select whether the filters displayed on the filter pane should be removable or not by end users.

In PBI Desktop on the right hand side there is a list of tables and their fields. When the fields in a table are shown, the sign and name of table is indented more to right than the field names. It looks illogical and also makes it more difficult to distinguish the end of one table and beginning of next one. Better visibility would be welcome. E.g. Swap the places of table sign and arrowhead or put frames around table name row or set a background color for table name row.
