Hi, @SibaSenapati 

Based on your reported error message, it looks like you are encountering a TypeError error when using the Dynamic Columns feature of Power BI Desktop. This error appears to be related to the isNullOrUndefinedOrWhiteSpaceString function in the JavaScript code.

You can verify that all data sources are connected correctly and that there are no missing or null values that shouldn't be there.

If you are using custom columns or metrics, make sure they are defined correctly and do not result in null or undefined values.

Ensure that you are using the latest version of Power BI Desktop, as updates often contain bug fixes and improvements.

In your error reporting information:

Recent Actions:
DuplicateSection, SetSectionVisibility, AddFieldInRole, ToggleOutspacePane, RemoveFieldFromRole, RemoveFieldFromRole, VisualContainerApplySort

If the problem persists, you can try undoing these actions and troubleshooting them step-by-step to determine which action is causing the error.

In addition to this, can you provide more context about the operation when this error occurred? For example:
Have you tried renaming columns?
Have you updated Power BI Desktop or any custom visualizations recently?
Does this error happen all the time or occasionally?

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Fen Ling,
