Custom hierarchy giving error when published

[Caelan]

Hi,

I've got a custom hierachy - basic one, 2 text fields only - on a column chart. Works fine in desktop, but when published to service I get this:

Can anyone suggest a fix please?

Hi @Caelan ,

There was a change to the underlying dataset, which is causing problems. The error message refers to a column named Office HierarchyFE Name, which is not in your data model screenshot.

You should go into powerbi.com and delete the dataset for this project and recreate/republish it.

Thank you for your help Adamk.

I'm not sure whether this was the issue; I looked at the data in service and it was recognising these columns, and I was able to build tables with them and they were behaving correctly.

Before deleting it, I re-published from desktop, and the visuals are working now, even when refreshed in service. Odd one - looks like it just didn't want to do any work on Friday. Don't blame it. Will give your solution a crack if the issue occurs again.
