October GA version bug? Chart not render when there is a legend
Hi,
We recently upgraded the preview version of PBI server to recent GA but it seems like chart don't render properly when there is a legend.
Is this known bug ?

yes...the new october GA release, adding a legend to any chart type it seems to cause the chart not to render correctly
Thanks for reporting the issue, I just tried this with a Pie chart but didn't see any issues. Can you provide some more detailed repro steps so we can repro it on our end. Thanks!

Hi
Could you please try the line chart or bar chart ??
- Hi Yes. But the issue is still there and PBI desktop is having the same issue. The screenshot i posted earlier is from the PBI desktop not from the server.
We have the same problem with the October GA version. Also no differenciation in the bars or no bar at all when using legends. Happens in all Stacked Bar visuals, except the 100% Stacked bar, which seem to work. Happens both in PBI DesktopRS October version as well as in the PBI Reporting Server, both connected to multidimensional SSAS with DirectQuery.
Tested on two machines, same results.
bonosungho nicholaszyu MR2017 can you provide an isolated repro report and private message it to me so we can try to repro this on our end. This sounds a lot like caching issues but if your seeing it in Desktop and the browser it's likely something else. One more quick question, do any of you have the latest Service version of the Desktop installed? If so are you seeing the issue there? Thanks!

On the first machine (test machine) formerly only the October service version of Desktop (v2.51.4885.701) was installed, then it was uninstalled, then the Power BI Report Server (June 2017 GA [14.0.600.305] + related June RS version of desktop installed. Worked fine w/o any problems.
Today updated to Power BI Report Server (October 2017 version [14.0.600.434]) + related October RS version of PBI desktop (v2.51.4885.1041) => problems occur as described. Also deleted IE cache, no change.
Issue occurs both with existing SSAS DirectQuery reports and SSAS DirectQuery reports that newly have been created from the scratch in the RS desktop version.
>> do any of you have the latest Service version of the Desktop installed? If so are you seeing the issue there?
On the second machine both the RS October (v2.51.4885.1041) and service October (v2.51.4885.701) PBI desktop clients are installed in parallel (is this allowed/recommended? It's possible...).
Both the existing and also new reports work fine w/o any issue in the October 2017 service desktop version as well as in PBI Azure service environment which I guess currently should be October version as well, whereas in the RS desktop version again we have the described issue.
I will check whether we have left a machine which didn't had installed any service desktop version before, means where we can check RS desktop version (only) with a clean installation.
One remark, possibly not relevant: Both machines are relatively restricted regarding internet access due to to corporate policies and a proxy server, here the first machine more than the second. I mention this because the map visual made some problems here because it wanted to connect to the internet both from the RS desktop as well as from the PBIRS server. We had to allow proxy connects for the respective map sites before it was working. Because map uses Bing this somehow makes sense wheras for stacked bars and columns I would not expect any internet need.
It looks a bit like incompatibilities of possibly shared resources / classes etc. between RS and service desktop tools combined with SSAS DirectQuery/Live access .... just a guess ...
Hi, the updated/fixed PBI Report Server version from November 17th
- PBI Report Server - Version 14.0.600.437
- PBI Desktop RS - Version 2.51.4885.1423 64-bit (Oktober 2017)
fixed the usage-of-legend-doesn't-let-the visual-render problem for us; this works now in all visuals (Stacked Bars/Columns etc).
Unfortunately there seem to be another issue in there now: the MDX cube formatting not is properly interpreted.
In practice our MDX Mio-cube-formatting after each refresh in the PBI report server report is shown sometimes in mio, sometimes in thousand values. The weird thing: It changes randomly with each refresh (pressing the refresh button).
We deleted the IE browser cache on server and client sides, no change.
This doesn't happen in the PBI Desktop RS - Version 2.51.4885.1423, only in the deployed reports in PBI Report Server - Version 14.0.600.437.
The behaviour doesn't appear in the service / cloud PBI (November release), here the cube format is interpreted always correctly.
We use Analysis Services 2016 direct connection.
Hi,
although we updated to the same versions as above,
- PBI Report Server - Version 14.0.600.437
- PBI Desktop RS - Version 2.51.4885.1423 64-bit (Oktober 2017)
did not fix the usage-of-legend-doesn't-let-the visual-render problem here.
I hope there will be a fix soon...

I finally figured out, that the upgrade to the newest version actuallly fixed the problem, but it is necessary to clear the browser cache for whatever browser you are using.
After clearing the cache the charts render as they are supposed to.
Best regards,
