Filter issue: works in Power BI desktop - not in Power BI services (unless switching sheets)

Hi all

 

I have a graph with figures per date and a target line.  

 

I added a filter where I can quickly select "this month".

 

When I unselect "this month" and select again "this month":

> I can see figures and target line for this month as before. So there are no problems in power BI desktop, .

> I can see figures, but no target line in power BI services or embedded. If i switch to another sheet and come back to this one, the target line is again visible.

 

This looks like a powerBI bug to me, but if not: Can anyone help me with this? 

 

(NB. We have only targets available for this month, I don't know if this can be an issue?)

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I was not able to reproduce this problem on my side. If possible, would you please share your .pbix file so that I can check for you?

Hi v-yulgu-msft

 

Thanks for your reply. Strange thing: today everything works fine, but I didn't change anything to the file. Hope it will stay this way. 

 

Anyone had the same problem?

 

Thanks a lot

I had kind of the same problem today:

I have a report in power BI desktop with a line and clustered column chart with the option "Show Secondary" > off. This report works fine in power BI desktop, but when I published it to power BI services and I checked the report there, the report suddenly shows 2 Y-axis. I checked the settings in power BI services and the option "Show Secondary" was on again?!

I guess there is a sync problem when publishing?
