Hi sanimesa,

 



Noticed something very strange on a report, there was a visual level filter (on two of the visuals) that I just could not remove.

Do you mean you failed to remove the report level filters? The fields were always existing in the filter section? Does this problem occur in desktop or service?

 

This is very odd. Please close and re-open your .pbix file to see whether issue persists. If possible, please re-create this report for a test. And use the latest version of Power BI desktop for a test.

 

Regards,

Yuliana Gu

Hi v-yulgu-msft

 

Yes, it was very odd, the report was not rendering correctly on the service which a user noticed. Then I saw the problem on the desktop.  I will keep an eye on it and report back if the problem occurs again. 

 

Thanks.

    Do you have a Funnel visual on the page? 

    I was just having the same issue, with my map and other visuals having a "phantom filter" that was always on the visual level and could not be removed. In my funnel visual, I was drilled down to a particular level when I launched the report. Once I drill all the way back up to the top level, the problem ceases.

     

    Let me know if that fixes your issue.
