An unexpected error occurred (file '', line , function '')

[Nuno_Santos]

After updating to the May 2025 Report Server, the error 'An unexpected error occurred (file '', line , function '')' is occurring in reports that had been deployed for a long time.

It appears that the issue might be related to date Slicers. Ig o delete the date slicer visual and redeploy, the error is gone.

I encountered the same issue, but installing Insider Preview 27881.1000 resolved it for me.
Power BI Version: 2.144.1155.0 64-bit (June 2025)

Hi, still working on it.

I have run some tests and minimized the data to reproduce the error with a CSV file, created in a plain text file.

The text file contains only these lines:

A,B

1845,330679

1845,330679

1845,330679

1845,330679

1845,330679

1845,330679

1845,330679

1845,330679

the 3 steps applied to file load:

= Csv.Document(File.Contents("D:\work\TestFile.csv"),[Delimiter=",", Columns=2, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None])

= Table.PromoteHeaders(Source, [PromoteAllScalars=true])

= Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"A", type number}, {"B", Int64.Type}})

column A was set as a decimal and column B as a whole number.

I created the measure:

measure= CALCULATE(COUNT(TestFile[B]),TestFile[A]>0)

and a visual list with only one column containing the created measure and the error occurs.

the error disappears if I do one of the following:

• remove at least one line of the file (all lines are equal)
• change column A type from decimal to whole number
• change measure removing TestFile[A]>0, or changing to TestFile[A]=0 or TestFile[A]<0, but TestFile[A]>=0 the error remains (the '>'  operator is causing the error)

Thanks.

Hi @Nuno_Santos ,
Thank you for keeping us updated on the issue and confirming that it’s still unresolved. Once you hear back from the support team, please do share the response here, it will be helpful for others who may encounter a similar issue.
Thank you.

Hi,

After installing on several devices and noticing that some returned errors while others didn’t, I compared the system information of each one and found that the issue, in this case, is related to AVX CPU extension support. One of the VMs didn’t inherit this extension from the host, and once it was enabled, the error disappeared.

We can conclude that the error is related to CPUs lacking the AVX extension.
Best Regards.

I just hit this issue today, and the solution noted for this post allowed my Network Admin to zero in on the solution.  To paraphrase, "Skylake (L8), supported by all 6 hosts, has AVX 512".  He had to upgrade the VM cluster AVX, then set a flag so that when individual VMs are rebooted they pick up the new setting.  I did the reboot on my full PBIRS TEST installation, and it immediately fixed the issue in multiple reports with no other changes needed.

We have had the same issue. Enabling the AVX CPU extension support resolved it. 
Thanks Nuno_Santos for finding and reporting this. 

[SWADOOD]

this was the issue at our end the VM Machine , cpu was selected as core 2 duo...
which does not support avx extension....
when updated to when updated to xeon gold 6226R..
the visual started to showing again..

@Nuno_Santos answer is not the resolution , it might be spotting what is the problem.
What am I supposed to do if I'm using Mac and my CPU doesn't support AVX ?

Hi @LiadAlkobi ,
Thanks for sharing your experience. As mentioned earlier, I had suggested raising a support ticket for this issue.

@Nuno_Santos ,could you please update us on the response you received from the Microsoft Support team? That insight might help others facing similar issues, especially since some users are still encountering the error despite enabling AVX.

Appreciate your help in keeping the community informed!
Thank you.

Hi,

As previously indicated, the root cause was tied to the absence of AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) support on one of the virtual machines. The VM failed to inherit AVX capabilities from the host CPU. Once AVX was explicitly enabled for that VM, the runtime exception was resolved.
Regards.

[LiadAlkobi]

O.K , but I'm using mac pro M2 which doesn't have avx support (which is a phisical layer on the CPU).
I'm also using parallels VM to run power bi desktop .
Which virtual machine software are you using ? Did you test Mac books as well ?

[Nuno_Santos]

I haven’t tested this setup on Macs.

 The virtual machine I’m using is running on Microsoft’s Hyper-V, as indicated by the system information output:

System Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation  
System Model: Virtual Machine

[LiadAlkobi]

F.Y.I The feedback from Power BI support is to work on previous version(Feb) and vote for and Idea to enable support on ARM64 CPUs .
I asked for the road map, whats planned, is microsoft given up Mac users ? is the problem going to be sloved or there is alternative soultion such as enhanced the web interface for dashboard developing ? I'm not yet given an answer .

anyway I will be glad if everyone will vote for this idea (yes everyone !!!)

Hi,

I raised a support case and i'm waiting for a solution.

I restored the database from the server that has the error onto the server that is working fine, and it worked well. So I assume the issue is not with the database. At this point, I haven’t made any progress and I’m waiting for updates from support or a patch from the May 2025 version of Power BI Report Server.

Thank you.

@Nuno_Santos did you get a resolution from Microsoft on this?  Thank you!

[Nuno_Santos]

Not yet.
