“Add Value” in Textbox Not Visible in Dark Theme

Submitted yesterday Submitted by yesterday
Hi,   I noticed a UI bug in Power BI Desktop when trying to add a dynamic value to a textbox.   In Power BI Desktop, when editing a textbox and trying to insert a dynamic value using the “Add value” option, the button/text appears to be missing in the dark theme. However, it's actually there — the font color just doesn't contrast properly with the dark background, making it invisible or very hard to see.   This issue does not occur in the light theme, where the "Add value" button is clearly visible.   Expected behavior: The "Add value" button should be visible and match the theme's color contrast.   Workaround: Switch to a light theme, add the value, then return to the dark theme.   Hope this can be addressed in a future update. Thanks!   Light theme:    Dark theme:          ... View more

Copying Table with Filters is Ignoring Filters

Submitted on ‎04-01-2025 09:50 AM Submitted by on ‎04-01-2025 09:50 AM
Good Day,   Occassionally I filter tables using a Table View to copy filtered results to use outside of Power BI - I.E. in Excel.   As of today it appears that when copying the Table View that has been filtered, it ignores the filters and copies the whole table. This is an issue for me as when I have a table in excess of 700,000 rows it makes this process extremely slow to copy from Power BI, and near impossible to paste it into Excel.   I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program.   Is anyone else experiencing this issue?   As an example, we are a service company and we have a geographic alignment for our field service team. Simply, filtering a table by the "East" Region and trying to copy the table when filtered to the East is not working. Instead, the entire table is copied.   ... View more

SVG Image URL in Card (New) Visual is not working - March 2025 update

Submitted on ‎04-06-2025 09:32 PM Submitted by Super User on ‎04-06-2025 09:32 PM
The new card visual seems to have a bug when using a measure containing svg-code. By selecting Image type = Image URL and adding a measure with svg-code to create a custom graphic, nothing happens.    It looks like the issue is specific to the Card (new) visual after the update, since previously created ones are still working and the PNG images are working in other visuals so the problem is likely with the Card (new) visual itself, possibly due to a breaking change in the latest update.   Note: when reverting back to feb version, its working fine. ... View more
Status: Accepted

It is an issue with newly created formatting for New Card in SU03 / March release. Existing formatting and rules should still apply correctly in the web, and using Feb is a valid workaround. We have fixed this for April Desktop, and are working on a QFE into March Desktop as well (no ETA yet).

March 2025 update - Style preset error

Submitted on ‎03-31-2025 07:12 AM Submitted by Advocate II on ‎03-31-2025 07:12 AM
Helo With the March Update we are facing the following error on our visuals (on JSON file) Style Preset not found - click on details the selected style preset did not have a definition the report's custom theme definition.  How can we solve this? ... View more
Status: Investigating

To clarify, are you seeing the Warning icon show up in the Visual Header, with text "Style preset not found"?
This is likely due to double-wildcard stylePreset value in your theme file, like:
"*" {

   "*" {

      "stylePreset" {[

         "name": "Flashy Rows"

This used to only apply for Table and Matrix, which shared the same stylePreset options, but now we will try to apply this to all visuals. Since many visuals do not have a stylePreset defined, it will fail to find one and warn you about this. stylePresets for all visuals was just released last week. We will consider only showing this warning in Edit mode, it is not that useful for read-only users.

To fix this, use visualType names specifically for default stylePresets and re-upload your theme.
Note: the latest theme schema update has made validation a bit more strict, so you may need to fix other errors before you can upload themes you have used in the past.

New Button Slicer Formatting Options in Service

Submitted on ‎05-06-2025 03:01 AM Submitted by on ‎05-06-2025 03:01 AM
UPDATE: Issue fixed with new json theme. However, @mattlee there is a problem with the button fill. The fill doesn't actually fill the whole of the last button and is a visual glitch. See the screenshot below. Any idea if this will be fixed?         This is a new issue in the service recently introduced. I have a new button slicer with the selected state of the callout values configured to have a different font colour. This works fine in Desktop but is ignored in the Service. Previously, this was working fine.  Update for repro steps:     In Desktop:     In Service (colours not applied and also note the thin grey bar to the right of the last button which also should not be there):     ...

A second issue related to conditional formatting rules for New Slicer (Preview) with May Desktop has been identified, we plan to QFE Desktop within a few days so you can continue to author new format rules for Button and List Slicer in the May release. Existing saved rules are fine. This issue is not related to custom themes. If you save a file with conditional format rules for New Button or List slicer, you may encounter a silent upgrader error, which will cause the formatting to be lost the next time you open the file. The Desktop QFE will fix this for May soon, but Edit/Save in the web will take longer to be patched.

New Card Visual inadvertently switching on values since March 25 update

Submitted on ‎04-03-2025 09:48 AM Submitted by on ‎04-03-2025 09:48 AM
Has anyone else noticed any bugs with the new card visual since the March 25 update?  I had some cards with the values switched off that are now suddenly showing.  Although they are switched off in the desktop app build they inadvertently get switched back on in the service after publishing and my existing reports all have values now on where they should be off.   I have had to edit directly in the service to get this sorted which is a real pain to do. ...

The fix is rolling out, the issue did not impact all regions. We hope to have this completed by the end of tomorrow (April 9th).

Date-Based Visuals Fail to Load on Power BI (x64) via Parallels 20 on Apple M4 Pro

Submitted on ‎05-02-2025 01:51 AM Submitted by on ‎05-02-2025 01:51 AM
Hi everyone,   We're currently running the latest version of Power BI (x64) on Windows 11 ARM, using Parallels 20 on an Apple M4 Pro Mac. I was recently assigned to work on a Power BI dashboard that works flawlessly (10/10 times) on my colleague's standard Windows machine. The data loads fine and refreshes without any errors on both systems.   However, we noticed a critical issue: Any visual that includes a Date field filter fails to load on my ARM-based setup. No meaningful error message is shown upon clicking the detailed error (empty line, char indicator) — the visual simply doesn't render, but does upon removing the date releated filter.   We attempted to: Recreated the visuals and relationships Adjusted regional and locale settings Confirmed the dataset integrity and formatting Tested across different Date fields and visuals We're now suspecting that this issue is related to ARM architecture compatibility, possibly with how Power BI handles datetime rendering or underlying libraries.   Has anyone else experienced this issue on Apple Silicon M4 with Parallels or any other ARM-based setup? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!   Thanks in advance. ... View more

Power BI Desktop issues starting March 2025 release when running under Parallel's Desktop

Please be aware that I have identified a bug or compability issue with Power BI Desktop (versions starting with March 2025 and after) that present as very odd behavior when run under the latest version Parallel's Desktop Pro Edition v20.3.0 (55895) virtual machine (Windows 11 Pro v24H2, build 26100.3915, 16 GB RAM) on a MacBook Pro (M4 Pro Apple Silicon chip).   I have created a simplified test PBIX file with one static date table that displays a broken visual in the newer PBI versions when one uses the Advanced Filter option under the filter pane.  If one replaces the Advanced filter with a Basic filter option to filter the same visual, the visual displays fine.  When one clicks the See details from the broken visual they get the following dialog.   Broken visual details dialog   This buggy behavior is not present in the February 2025 released version of the PBI app (run under Parallels Desktop virtual machine) or in more recent versions that are run on a physical PC.

Total Labels not following dynamic formatting rules

Some of the Total Labels in my stacked column chart are not adhering to the dynamic formatting rules (but standard data labels are working correctly.) I've attached an example along with the DAX expression used for formatting. As shown, some total labels are formatted as expected, while others are not.   This issue occurs both in Power BI Desktop and in the Power BI Service.   ... View more

PDF Export From Desktop not Exporting Full Pages

Submitted on ‎10-20-2023 09:33 AM Submitted by Advocate II on ‎10-20-2023 09:33 AM
Hello,   I posted this in the help section of the community, but I believe it is a bug with the most recent update (October 2023).   I routinely export desktop PBI reports to PDF for sharing in newsletters. Today, for some reason, when I exported to PDF, only about the top left quarter of each page is exported instead of the full page.    I have attempted exporting multiple different reports, closing and re-opening Power BI, and restarting my computer to no avail. Nothing in my report has changed other than refreshing the data. Each page is the default 16:9 720x1280 size.   I was able to successfully export from a report published to the online workspace, but not desktop. A coworker was also able to successfully export from desktop with the August 2023 update.    Link to help thread with numerous others with the same issue   Any help in getting this resolved would be appreciated! ...
