Error fetching data for this visual
Hi Ibendlin,
Thanks for the help.
It was a bug. I rebuild every visual with the error and now it is working fine. The bug was specially in the bar charts.
Following this post to see if there is an update on the solution.... I encountered this issue too when I am on the desktop app. There were no errors showing in the published version.
I have just recently upgraded my PBI version to the Jan 30th 2025 release. 2.139.2054.0
Since upgrading to the current version you are also on, I haven't run into this issue. Have you tried re-adding/completely rebuilding the measures? If you would like, please provide some details and I can try to help!
Hi DataIsCool Thanks for your responses and kind gesture to help. I managed to resolve the issue at the end of my day yesterday.
As I am on a work provided laptop with a software catalogue, and we don't always get the very latest updates pushed through, I installed a new version. Unsure if it was a different 'bit', eg, from 32 to 64 but it worked. As soon as I re opened the file my visuals were back in full form 🙂I installed (x64) 2.139.1678.0
Han_PBI, give this a go, hopefully works for you
Thanks again DataIsCool
I also try and do as much as I can in SQL and PQ, love PQ, not much of a DAX fan so generally keep things pretty basic in that area, just scalar values mostly 🙂
Hi Damian,
Thank you very much for bringing up the bit difference. I completley forgot, I had also switched from a 32bit version to the 64bit. November 2024 32x to January 2025 64x to be exact. This most be where the problem is coming from!
Hi,
I'm also running into the same issue, my current powerbi version is 2.139.1678.0 (32bit). In my case, when I have 2 or more types of data selected, i will receive the error "Error fetching data for this visual".
For example, selecting line and clustered columned chart, X-axis is by month (Jan, Feb, Mar etc), while Column Y-axis is the QTY for the whole 2024. In this scenario, the visual data still works. But when I add another data of Sales Amount under the column Y-axis, error will show. But if I remove QTY and just select sales amount, the data will still show. I also tried using other visual, and the result is the same for visuals such as "Table" or "Line Chart".
I don't have the luxury to change to 64bit, since I need to use other softwares such as Microsoft Access and Excel (32bit), If i change to 64bit, I cannot import the data properly. Can't upgrade the other softwares to 64bit as well, company property. What's strange is other users with 32bit powerbi and the same update does not encounter the same issue as I do. Tried reinstalling, upgrading the patch, and rebuilding the measures. I also excluded the possibility of gateway connection/ user permission, since there is none.
Kindly advice, thanks.
