I'm struggling to be able to work efficiently with Dataflows as I am experiencing excessive times to 'validate' queries after pressing the 'Save & Close' button. For entities with even a minimal amount of transformation (eg. simply changing some column data types) I've experienced wait times of over 3 hours to simply save the query to exit out back to the main entity menu/view. Should things be taking this long for an output schema validation process, regardless of the size of the underlying table data? Is this an issue being experienced by others as well? This is making it simply impossible for me to work with the Dataflows product in this way.

Is anyone else having issues with power BI reports not loading? If I go to the webservice, I just get the 'Almost Done' message and it looks like the report is loading but it never does.

Location: North Europe Publised Reports not loading at all - only blank pages. Would be lovely if Microsoft would update the service status if this is a widespread issue. I am being run down by colleagues now. Thanks

Hi, The new light theme pane is giving me headaches. I do not think you should have released the June 2019 Update with the light theme without a dark one. It is really hard for me to read and impacting my work. Please send out a patch with the old pane while you are developing the dark theme.

Power BI is experiencing a problem with WebView2 running Out of memory. We have identified some of the top causes of this and have the details below. If that does not address your Out of memory problem, contact us at pbidesktopwebview2issues@service.microsoft.com Out of Memory cause: Custom visuals causing memory leak - If you are using any custom visuals and are running into Out of Memory crahses, please try removing the custom visuals to check if it resolves the issue. If it does, please reach out with the visual which was cauing the memory leak so we can address it. If you are not using any custom visuals and are still running into this, it could be due to having a lot of report pages and visuals per page. This causes the browser heap memory to exceed the 4GB limit and crash. This is sadly a limitation of chromium. Possible workaround Limit the number of visuals in the report. The recommendation is to split the report into smaller reports and using cross-drillthrough - Use cross-report drillthrough in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs.The cross-drillthrough feature carries through filters when using cross drill through.

HI As per this community discussion, a change to the borders around titles in some visualisations has caused multiple problems across the Service and Mobile versions. This does not occur on Power BI desktop.

Simple SQL query that runs 7 seconds in SQL takes 19 minutes(!) to validate in Dataflows 19 minutes!!!??? Not just one query. I've tried SQL Server and PostgreSQL - the time it takes to Validate is just crazy. What is going on? Please help

Hello, since the new ribbon interface was rolled out, my Power BI Desktop Pro is completely unresponsive and keeps freezing. I cannot minimise, maximise, or move the window at all. The ribbon is completely unresponsive. Occassionally, it will randomly unfreeze, only to re-freeze. This is affecting all my reports. I cannot get any work done. This is an issue with PowerBI and not my system, I have the latest Core i7 with 32Gb of system memory on Windows 10. All my other apps are fine. It was working fine before the new interface was rolled out. Any help would be appreciated, particularly on how I can roll this back to the previous version.

I am stuck at this point when I click on the Refresh button. Looks like there is a problem in September 2021 update, I've downgraded to August and it's working fine.

This bug started happening to me in the Power BI Service yesterday in Chrome, and to my coworker today in Edge. When I click on a drop-down slicer to select a value, the list appears way off to the side instead of directly under the visual. Screenshots are attached. If a slicer is off to the far right of the page, the drop-down list won't appear at all as it's been "shifted" to a location off screen. Changing the browser window's size will shift the drop-down location, but it's never exactly where it should be. I checked and confirmed my Chrome browser is up to date, installed the latest Power BI and Windows updates, rebooted my machine, and deleted my cache, but the issue persists. Any help is appreciated.

Hello, Since last friday i'm with some issues in refresh my datasets. Most of the the refreshes that we try returns an internal error: Error: Internal error Request ID: ad8067f3-103b-4cde-a815-9869e2a3f98c Activity ID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 My dataflows are connected to Google BigQuery, with Powerbi Connector, and this never happened in the past. the error always happens at different refresh times, different entities, and happens on all the Dataflows we have on the server on the various PRO accounts. Do you have any idea of what is happening for this error

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?

When using the DAX function "RELATED" to add a new column from an Imported table to a DirectQuery table, I receive an error. This error does not occur if both tables are using DirectQuery. Column: SampleColumn = RELATED(ImportTable[Column]) Error: "The column 'ImportTable[Column]' either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context." Relationship: DirectQueryTable[SampleKey] (many) has a relationship with ImportTable[SampleKey] (one) Cardinality = Many to One (*:1) Cross filter direction = Both Make this relationship active = Checked Note: When creating the column using "RELATED" in the DirectQueryTable table, ImportTable shows up as a suggestion.

Hi all, I'll try to explain the issue I'm having. Power BI runs fine, until a random moment. Perhapse I change something in a visual or a measure, but then all my visuals start to refresh and in 90% of the time they don't recover at all and Power BI simply freezes. Sometimes I even have to do a hard reboot. The changes I'm making are very small. I sometimes I have the idea it has something to do with IntelliSense and/or Microsoft Edge Webview2. Yesterday I was typing a DAX syntax and by pressing tab, it took the suggested function. Every single time I did this, Power BI desktop frooze. Also, sometimes it generates multiple Webview2 processen (screenshot). It's pretty much impossible to work at the moment. Using the most recent PBI December 2021 desktop update. Is there a fix for this?

DebbieE · ‎09-11-2019

This has just happened with the September 2019 release. Power BI Desktop looks fine on my small laptop screen. Move it across to my larger 2nd monitor and the font is blurry to the point of being unreadable. I need Power BI on the larger screen so I can see everything so at the moment, the September 2019 release is unuseable

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!
