Couldn't load the data for this visual

Hi,

 

I have created a new report, uploaded it to the service where I am a paid for Pro member and it works just fine.  I have created a new workspace, added the report to it and then added a colleague who is on a Pro Trial.  However when he opens the report all the visuals have failed to load with the error 'Couldn't load the data for this visual ':

 

 

If I Edit the workspace and change this member from 'Member' to 'Admin', all the visuals load and the report is correct.  However if I change this back to 'Member' the report again fails to load.

 

Any thoughts appreciated!

    Hi MarkSL,

     

    I think your dataset has RLS, right?
    If this is a case, you need to assign role to user to apply RLS filter, otherwise they will got this can't load data error.

    Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI

     

    BTW, current RLS only works on read permission, so admin and dataset owner can see each records even if they not get RLS roles.

  • I have now shared the dashboard with another full Pro user and he is also experiencing the same issue - can only see the report when set to Admin.

     

    Thoughts appreciated!

        Hi Anonymous

         

        Many thanks, that was indeed the issue!  

         

        I had a long time ago looked at Roles and applying RLS, but hadn't gone any further with it and no user was assigned to the Role I had created.  As Admin, I could as you say see everything and was therefore unaware that this was even being considered.

         

        I have now deleted this role but will look into re-applying it when we come to roll this report out further.

         

        Thanks again :smileyhappy:
