Dars,

 

Try updating your version to the October 2017 Release version and try again. Lots of updates were added since June 2017 in the October release

 

Best Regards

I have updated to October version, still no luck.  I have also tried using the Power BI Desktop regular version to see if the result was different, again no luck.

 

I really think that this is a serious bug.  I have create a simple new tabular cube with only one measure 

:

YTD Sales Amt:=
CALCULATE(
	SUM(Sales[SalesAmount]),
	FILTER(
		ALL('Dates'),
		Dates[CalendarYear]=MAX('Dates'[CalendarYear])
			&& 'Dates'[FullDate] <= MAX('Dates'[FullDate])
	)
)

This measure works fine without any problem in Powerpivot and also Power BI.  Then when I add a measure manually in Power BI while connected to my SSAS tabular cube :

Top 3 Category = 
IF (
    ISBLANK (
        VAR Top3 =
            RANKX ( ALL ( Products[Category] ), [YTD Sales Amt] )
        RETURN
            IF ( Top3 <= 3, Top3, BLANK () )
    ),
    BLANK (),
    [YTD Sales Amt]
)

Again, it works fine.  But when I change my slicer value from 2017 to 2016, then one of the graph starts displaying (X) can't display the visual.  If I remove the measure I manually added, I still see this (X) even on the graph (Card) where I only show the YTD amount.  It simply doesn't make any sense :(
