The copilot narrative is not able to produce a percentage with two decimals when connecting to a "composite model" data set measure.   For example, if the number format in the base (parent) semantic model is 36.53% then Copilot Narrative will ALWAYS produce .36 in a composite model vs 36.53% when connecting to the parent data set directly.    Similarly it will not pick up on currency formatting in a composite model.    Steps to reproduce: Build a power BI data set with a measure that produces 36.53% Publish and create a copilot narrative  Create a second PBIX with composite model based on the first semantic model Publish and create a copilot narrative  Compare the result The first narrative will show 36.53% and the second will show .36   This does not seem to be an LLM issue. The narrative output is consistently missing the decimals and percentage sign via a composite model.  ... View more

Hi Microsoft Fabric Community, Issue Summary Input slicers in public/Publish to Web links now freeze/block the browser tab when interacted with. This new problem began yesterday (April 24, 2026) after recent Service updates. Steps to Reproduce Create report with Input Slicer (Feb 2026 feature) on text/date field. Publish to web/public embed. Open link in Chrome/Edge new tab. Type/select in input slicer → tab freezes (unresponsive, high CPU). Environment Power BI Desktop: Works fine. Power BI Service/Public link: Fails (tab blocked). Browser: Chrome/Edge (latest), occurs consistently. No custom visuals; standard input slicer only. https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiNzM1MzRmODgtMjkwYi00MjRmLTljYWQtYThhZDcwMzdmMzZhIiwidCI6IjMxZjEzM2ZhLTRiODMtNDUwMi05NzNjLTcxMDdiZDY0ZTgwNyJ9  ...

I am reporting a issue in the Input Slicer visual performance specifically within the Power BI Service (Web). This issue does not occur in Power BI Desktop.  Cursor Jump: When typing a value into the input box, the cursor automatically jumps to position 0 (the front of the text) after a single character is entered. This prevents me from entering multiple value (FYI: accept multiple value is toggled on). Unable to Delete: Values entered into the slicer cannot be cleared or deleted using the "X" keys. Kindly advise.    ... View more

Issue Summary The On-premises Data Gateway version 3000.314.5 (released April 27, 2026) fails to install on Virtual Machines without GPU acceleration.

Since updating to the March 2026 version of Power BI Desktop, I am unable to connect to a specific Tabular model on Azure Analysis Services (AAS). Error Message: "The connection failed. An error occurred while trying to connect. Details: Could not connect to the Analysis Services server because the connection timed out or the server name is incorrect.". Key Findings: Regression: The connection works perfectly with the November 2025 version of Power BI Desktop on the same machine and with the same credentials/network. Specific Context: The issue occurs only with one specific Tabular model, while others remain accessible. Community Feedback: Other users and clients have reported similar connectivity issues specifically with the latest March 2026 update. Steps to Reproduce: Open Power BI Desktop (March 2026 version). Select "Get Data" > "Azure Analysis Services database". Enter Server and Database name (Connect Live). Error appears after a short attempt.

Hi all, I’m seeing recently a recurring issue in Power BI Desktop where a brief CMD window appears during report load and sometimes during semantic model-related changes. After digging into it, I found that the CMD window is actually SQLDUMPER.EXE. From what I understand, SQLDUMPER.EXE is a Microsoft diagnostic utility that gets triggered when an internal Microsoft component crashes or throws an exception. In this case, the actions seem to be tied to msmdsrv.exe, which is the backend model/query engine used by Power BI Desktop. What the issue looks like The black CMD window appears briefly. It first happens while the report is opening, specifically during “Preparing report”. It can also happen later when making changes that affect the semantic model, for example renaming a field or making other model-related modifications. The issue does not seem to be a simple visual/UI problem. It looks more like the backend model engine is hitting an exception and SQLDUMPER is collecting a dump. My troubleshooting so far Confirmed the CMD window is SQLDUMPER.EXE Using process monitoring, I confirmed that the CMD window is SQLDUMPER.EXE. Looking deeper, the process triggering it appears to be msmdsrv.exe, which is the Analysis Services/model engine running behind Power BI Desktop. No issue with a PBIX that has no external file connection In my tests, the issue does not appear when the PBIX contains only embedded data and no external data source connection to a file. You can simulate it just entering a dummy data using "Enter Data" in power bi. Issue will not happen on those reports. Happens in both Store version and downloaded version I tested both: the Microsoft Store/App version the downloaded installer version The issue happens in both. Preview features do not seem to be the root cause Turning off some preview features, such as On-object interaction, seemed to reduce the frequency somewhat, possibly because they trigger semantic model changes more often. However, this did not solve the issue completely, so I do not think this is purely a preview feature problem. Cache clearing and fresh install did not fix it I tried: clearing cache fresh installation switching to the downloaded version None of these resolved the problem. Running Power BI as Administrator prevents the issue While investigating logs, I noticed some apparent file access-related problems involving msmdsrv.exe. That led me to try Run as administrator. When I ran Power BI Desktop as Administrator, the issue did not appear. I even turned all preview features back on and tested again as Administrator, and it still did not happen. Moving the PBIX to a simple local folder did not help I also moved the report to a simple folder path such as: C:\test. This did not solve the issue. Current conclusion So far, on my machine, the only thing that prevents the issue is running Power BI Desktop as Administrator, which is obviously not a real solution. At this point, I suspect this may be one of the following: a Power BI Desktop bug a permissions / file access / credential issue something related to external data source connections possibly some interaction between the local Analysis Services engine (msmdsrv.exe) and file-based external sources Main questions Is anyone else seeing SQLDUMPER.exe appear during “Preparing report” or during semantic model changes? Has anyone identified the exact trigger? Has Microsoft acknowledged this anywhere? Is there any proper fix besides running Power BI as Administrator? Thanks in advance. I’m sharing this in case it helps others narrow down the issue. ... View more

Hello,   I found a bug with the improved narrator support option. Even though I have disabled this option as you can see in the following screen, I still hear the voice of the narrator each time I open a pbix file. After a moment searching the web, it appears that I am not the only one with this bug and the only "fix" found is more a workaround: disable the sound of the Power BI application.   Thank you !   Olivier. ...

Hi! I've made a visualization using Sankey Chart (version 3.4.5.0) and embedded a report containing it to a website. The visualization used to work just fine but at the start of the year it suddenly started showing error on the website (translates to "Visualizations from AppSource or certifications added to a file are not available due to your admin settings unless your system administrator added the visualization to the My Organization page."): The other visualizations in the report show correctly on the website, the Sankey is the only one not working. The visualization tool works and shows when using Power BI Desktop and Online. The visualization is allowed in the admin settings and we haven't identified anything from our organizations side which could be the cause for the problem. I've tried making the report again from scratch using the same data which comes from Excel and another one with "Enter data" but those had the same problem. Thank you for your support. ... View more

Hello, The November update of Power BI Desktop messed up the metrics and visuals in my new card visual. It happened with the image in the callout, and the reference labels had their layout changed, no longer keeping the spacing I wanted. This is really frustrating because the users who view the report daily (including the bosses) are not getting the metrics they need. Could you please provide a fix or workaround for this problem?
