Unable to Change Visualization Type when I "Visualize this View" in a Model-Driven Power App

Hello all - 
 
I am having an issue with changing the Visualization Type when I "Visualize this View" with Power BI from my model-driven app. Myself and my colleague are able to change the x-axis, y-axis, etc. components but are unable to change the Visualization Type. I can confirm this worked for me last week but now the Visualization Options do not even pop out like they did last week. The bar just highlights gray and does nothing when it is clicked. I've included a photo of what happens below. Hoping this is just a permissions issue! Thanks!

Hi @AR1021,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing the details and for including the screenshot, that is helpful.

From what you described, it sounds like the “Visualization Type” dropdown isn’t responding when you try to change chart types after selecting Visualize this view in your model-driven app. Since this feature was working for you previously, the behaviour might be due to a recent change in your environment settings, permissions, or browser cache. Here are a few things you can try to get it working.

Confirm the feature is still enabled: In your app, open the editor → go to Settings > Features and check that the option “Enable Power BI quick report visualization on a table” is turned on. If it was toggled off, you can turn it back on and republish the app.

Check Power BI permissions: Make sure you have at least Contributor access to the workspace where the quick report is created. Limited permissions (like Viewer access) can sometimes prevent you from changing visual types.

Verify Personalization is allowed: The “change visualization type” option depends on the Personalize this visual feature. If personalization is disabled in your tenant or report, that control won’t open.

Try a browser refresh or incognito mode: Occasionally, this can also happen due to a cached UI issue. Try clearing your cache or testing from another browser.

If the issue persists even after checking these points, please confirm whether your colleagues experience the same behaviour and if this happens across all tables or just one. That will help us narrow down whether it’s environment-specific or permissions-related.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any doubts regarding this. We will be happy to help.

Hello! Thank you for all of the troubleshooting suggestions! I am apart of a larger organization so it is possible some settings had been adjusted without my notification. 

 

I did end up figuring it out. While I wasn't able to edit the visualization charts within the app, I could Save the report in my Power BI Workspace, go back into the report and edit from there.

 

Appreciate your time and knowledge!
