Decomposition tree issue - Sorting by value no longer works in the service

I've been using the decomposition visual for almost a year using it as a really easy way to get basic insights quickly, I love it.

 

Recently though something seems to have changed so that whenever I publish a report to powerBI service that contains the decompostion tree; the visual is sorted differently.

 

For example we have a demo report in powerBI desktop where the report looks like this:

JoshSimpson_0-1625743786266.png

However when I publish that report to the service it looks like this:

JoshSimpson_1-1625743835869.png

As you can see vendor name and classification level 1 are sorted alphabetically rather than by distribution of NET Invoic Total. Unlike on the desktop version.

 

I cant find a way to fix the issue and it makes the visual a lot less useful as I need to search through hundreds of vendors to see which one has the highest NET spend.

 

Any ideas?

 

Josh

Hi Eyelyn,
I still have the same issue with Service. All the icons highlighted in yellow are missing from the decomp tree visual. 

Any idea how to fix this?  Thanks!

Known issue apparently. No idea when it will be fixed but do know it is a recent bug.

 

See earlier thread.
