Dashboard Visual keeps changing

Hi SamfarUK,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

When we use the "ask a question about your data" feature in Power BI to create a visual, the tool automatically selects the best visual type for example bar chart. While we can modify it for example to a pie chart. But the Q&A-generated visuals do not retain visualization changes when pinned to a dashboard. Instead they revert to their default type when pinned.

To ensure that the visual stays as a pie chart in the dashboard, follow below steps:

• Use the Q&A feature to generate the desired insight visual.
• Modify the visual to a pie chart using the visualization toolbar.
• Click on "Save as a Report" and after that open the saved report in power bi.
• Pin the pie chart from the report instead of directly from Q&A
• Now, the pinned visual will remain as a pie chart in the dashboard.

Since power bi does not retain visualization changes for Q&A-generated visuals when pinned, saving it as a report converts it into a standard visual, which allows power bi to persist changes. So, save the Q&A visual as a report first and then pin it from the report. This should solve your issue.
