Almost every icon in the Power BI service is now grey. This makes the service much more difficult to use, especially for business users and developers who rely on icon colors to quickly navigate through the service. For instance, when viewing a workspace, reports used to have a blue icon next to their name, while datasets had an orange icon. Now there is no color differentiation and the icons for a report and dataset are incredibly similar. Additionally, buttons which prompted specific actions, such as updating an app, had a yellow (then teal) background, which helps call out the significance of the action. Recently, the Power BI accent color was changed from yellow to teal. At the time, the team explained the primary reason for this change was to ensure the product was more accessible to all users by improving contrast and increasing visibility of the user interface. By removing icon colors, the team has directly reduced contrast and decreased visibility of the user interface. It does not seem unreasonable to expect a visualization tool to adhere to basic design principles. Please restore the previous icon colors. In future updates, please ensure the user experience is impacted positively, rather than negatively, for consumers and developers

Since last monday night, all of my power bi's published on power bi service that used to refresh during the night started to fail and return the error: Data source errorDataSource.Error: <ccon>Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'htt ps :// XXXXXX .sharepoint/(...) This type of connections is working on power query for excel. It works when I refresh query by query on the power bi desktop but doesnt work on the power bi service and aldo with I try to "refresh all" on power bi service. My company has no other solution than sharepoint. Is this happening with someone else?

New BUG: The date format in all reports on Power BI Service for all users has changed to US format over the weekend, without any of us changing anything. This issue has been identified all over the world in Germany, Brazil, Russia, Finland, New Zealand etc. as per this new community post: Re: Different regional configuration Power BI DAft... - Microsoft Power BI Community We have checked our browser & PC language & regional settings but have not found a cause, nor a fix. We have not changed any of those settings over the weekend. Could you please urgently help fixing this as it negatively impacts our external customer reporting?

I am writing to report a bug I've encountered in Power BI service which seems to be impacting the way options are ordered when selected from a slicer. To elaborate, it appears that the order in which options are selected from a slicer is not being followed as expected. Instead, they now adhere to the order outlined within the field parameters. This deviates from the previous functionality where the options would display in the exact order as they were selected from the slicer. This unexpected change in behavior is significantly affecting the functionality and user experience of my reports. The ability to have options reflect in the order they are selected is crucial for accurate data representation and interpretation. Here is a more detailed description of the issue: The Bug: The order of options from a slicer are following the predefined order in the field parameters, not the order in which they are selected. The Impact: This bug is causing confusion and misinterpretation of data, as it disrupts the logical order in which data is expected to be presented. Expected Behavior: The selected options should reflect in the order they were selected from the slicer, not the predefined order in the field parameters. I believe that this is a bug and not a feature update, as the original functionality provided more flexibility and user control over the display of data. I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly look into this matter, and hopefully revert the ordering back to the selection sequence from the slicer, or provide an option to choose between selection and predefined order. I am looking forward to hearing from you and seeing this issue resolved soon.

Created a Power BI Dataflow with the connection to other existing Power BI data flow using "Dataflow" connector, worked in the editing, but failed in refreshing once saved it. Switched the connector from "Dataflow" to "Power BI Dataflow (Legacy)" and worked. Dataflow connector has the issue with connecting to other Power BI dataflow when refreshing data. The refresh error message was "Error: Data Source Error : DataSource.Error: Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) DataSourceKind = <ccon>PowerPlatformDataflows</ccon> DataSourcePath = <ccon>PowerPlatformDataflows</ccon> Message = <ccon>A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections".

The Chilet Slicer has started forcing the showing of tooltips with no way to configure starting. This began out of nowhere last week. This is especially bad since not all of my dimension field column names are configured to be viewed publicly. Any help would be much appreciated.

I think the new Power BI deployment pipelines UI/UX that removed the colorful icons for reports, datasets, and dashboards is harder to use. The new "line drawing" icons require more attention to differentiate between the different types of assets. Could you add colors to the line drawing icons?

Hello, Before I could test security roles in Power BI Online, for reports connect to other datasets, by selecting test roles in the dataset and using the left pane navigation to select the report that I wanted to test and was able to validate security in all reports connected to that data model. Currently, I cannot find that option or another similar solution. Can you please support?

Publishing a power BI desktop file to power BI service, in an attempt to overwrite an existing dataset/report doesn't work whenever you might have switched on the toggle of OneDrive refresh. Turning of the toggle doesn't solve the issue. Reported issues, claimed to be resolved by the product team, continue to cause big issues: Cannot disable OneDrive refresh - Microsoft Power BI Community. This result in a status where it is impossible to adjust a dataset/report. (Even though Microsoft is pushing towards full parity of power BI desktop into the cloud, currently we can't fully work in the browser as not all functionality of power BI desktop has been added in the browser.) The only unacceptable workaround appears to delete your dataset/report in the service and publish a new one. Let me elaborate some of the consequences of deleting the dataset/report: need to re-pin visuals to dashboards RLS/OLS needs to be reconfigured related reports/datasets are broken (hybrid reports, reports on the same datasets, etc.) all reports directly or indirectly related to this dataset that are pinned in Microsoft Teams are broken Deep Links (with filters in the URL) to every report related directly/indirectly to this dataset are broken all people's bookmarks to related reports/datasets are broken integrations of power BI reports in PowerApps are broken integration in Excel Custom data types are broken (featured tables) integration of power BI in Power Automate are broken, automation of processes thus are broken all external systems sending API requests to that dataset are broken metrics are broken report usage metrics are gone power BI comments are gone integration with Synapse Analytics is broken e-mail subscriptions on the reports are broken alerts on Card/Gauge visual are broken everything else I forgot about is broken! Let it be very clear: the impact of deleting just a simple report/dataset can be huge. Huge work in fixing stuff, huge in disruption for the business with a many power BI users. Currently we're not updating our power BI reports and datasets, which also is impacting our business operations! All power BI users are facing this issue and many are complaining about it: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Couldn-t-publish-to-power-BI-already-exists-and-is-set-up-w... https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Publish-of-update-fails-with-error-about-cloud-refresh/m-... https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Cannot-quot-overwrite-quot-You-already-have-a-dataset-named... https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Publish-of-update-fails-with-error-about-cloud-refresh/m-... The product team should fix this and have admins the possibility of disabling OneDrive refresh all together for the entire tenant. Simply moving one .pbix file in SharePoint (seeming unharmful) can trigger unrepairable/irreversible consequences. I have raised a support ticket for this issue, but power BI support has been unable to solve this open ticket for more than 5 days. Please vote, and raise awareness of this BUG. This must be fixed!

Hello Support, I am hoping someone can help me solve a recent issue with my scorecards. Starting 3/7/23 my scorecard goals are not staying updated with the linked reports. I have multiple Metrics linked directly to reports. The scorecards are no longer auatomatically updating. I have to manually update them by refreshing the connection to the report. Even though the report is automatically refreshing I have both the report and scorecard data sets set to automatically updated multiple times a day. And despite those occuring without errors the data in the scorecard is not updating. This is causing issues with our performance KPIs. I have not changed anything in either report to cause the changes. I have even added new goals that are also not updating.

Myself and my team are getting the following issue when trying to publish our dashboards to a workspace: An error occurred while attempting to publish "Dashboard.pbix": Unable to write data to the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. This is the first time we've seen this error and have been unable to find anything about it online so looking for any guidance on how to resolve.

The new update changed to icons that are all grey line drawings and defaults to showing all content types together with no quick way to switch between datasets and reports/dashboards (it now requires more clicks than it did previously). Both of these changes would not be ideal on their own, but the combination of these makes it very difficult to see the differences at a glance, especially with a long list of items. I'm not sure what the intent was here, but it's made it a less user friendly experience. It would be great to at least have an option to default to not showing datasets, but the bigger help would be to have icons that can be distinguished at a glance. Thanks!

Version: 2.116.966.0 64-bit (April 2023) When setting the Tab order on the Selection pane any changes to groups do not stick when navigating away from the tab order pane. To recreate: Change tab order and place a group of items anywhere Navigate back to Layer order Navigate back to Tab order and the group will move down the list Repeat steps 2 and 3 and each time the group moves down the list Does not happen on a computer with a version from 2022.

Hello, When creating a new or changing a current working dataflow with a Exasol certified connector. The refresh fails with "Expression.Error: The import Exasol.Database matches no exports.

I use dd/mm/yyyy format on PBI desktop, but when published to online, that date is converted to US format mm/dd/yyyy. This has only just happened in the last week or so. Worked fine for months prior. No changes have been made. My default browser language is NZ, and in PBI desktop and service it is set to 'default (browser language)'. It has always been set to this. But suddenly it has started being converted to US format. Please help! Ben
