Bullet chart visual from Microsoft showing nothing

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I have a report using the custom visual Bullet chart (https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104380755?tab=Overview) and it is showing nothing in both powerbi service and powerbi desktop.&nbsp;Does anyone else have this problem? I think it started last week.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;baatch,&nbsp;Based on my test, I cannot reproduce your issue here using the Power BI desktop of the version : 2.60.5169.4101 64-bit (July 2018) &amp; 2.61.5192.601 64-bit (August 2018). Could you please tell me what is the version of yours? Kindly update to the latest one and try again.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also please share your PBIX file to me if you still get issues.Regards,Frank

Hi,&nbsp;I'm have found another thread were others are also experiencing the same problem:&nbsp;https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/bullet-chart/m-p/482300/highlight/false#M50303&nbsp;If category is not set then no visual is shown. Both on Desktop and Service.&nbsp;This was not the behavior before latest update that happended last week.

Hi&nbsp;baatch,&nbsp;based on my test, that's ture as you said,&nbsp;If category is not set then no visual is shown. So you should add category in the visual to dispaly properly. what's more, could you please mark the answer as a solution to close the case please. Thanks in advance.&nbsp;Regards,Frank

Hi&nbsp;&nbsp;That is not an acceptable answer. This visual was working without setting the category&nbsp;before this month update to the power bi service. It meant that we had to make updates to many many reports that use this visual.&nbsp;Confirm that Microsoft&nbsp;broke the functionality without any advanced notice and without any official solution on how to fix it and I can mark that as an solution....&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

baatch,&nbsp;I think you're mistaken here - the visual never worked without a Category, because that's a required field in order to display any relevant data. The whole point of the chart is to cateogrize data based on an input measure. Not having a category would just give you the results of the measure.&nbsp;I haven't run into any problems with bullet charts in the past. If you have an un-updated .PBIX with a non-categorized Bullet Chart, I'd be happy to take a look at it and see what the issue is.
