Solved: App does not match Report

Bulvers · ‎01-22-2020

Hello, I am running into an issue with my app.

I have a report that I publish from Power BI Desktop. It has 7 (3 shown) slicers across the top that are all set to drop down.

When I publish this report and go view it at powerbi.com, it looks the same. Everything working as intended.

However, when I Update my app, all of my slicers change to list rather than dropdown. I verified that the published report was correct after updating app, and it looked correct. Just the App is not correct.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks!

B

Hi @Bulvers

I have seen this happen in the past when you have modified the filters and it is keeping not only the filters it also keeps those states.

Can you try and pressing the Reset to Default

@Bulvers that is rather strange.

I just tested this myself and all the updates I did in the report (with user A) show up in the app for user B. User B also has Viewer access to the workspace and the updates are processed there also.

Can you try it with another workspace and see what that does? Or maybe add someone else to the app and see if their experience in the app is the same?

Did this help you or did I answer your question?

Yes, it looks like it is not consistent. I have 20 people using the same App. 12 of them are seeing Lists on SOME of the reports and 8 of them are seeing drop downs as they should be. Also, it appears to only be on some reports within the same app.

Reset to default worked for me.

No idea what was going on there but I had almost exactly the same problem - slicer was set to Single Select [Off] in Desktop & Report but App it was [On], after multiple refreshes and even removing the Report from the App. Had tried hiding & republishing and it was hidden OK but this refused to go away.
