Pie Chart Colours Keep Changing

We have created a number of dashboards and have pinned live pages for each of the tab from the report. When you first open Power BI, each pie chart is formatted with the standard colour palette. Howe...

Hi jason_hill,

 

Please restart the computer and login Power BI Service in Edge, then publish the attached .PBIX file to Power BI Service and pin live page to different dashboards. In my environment, this file works fine in two dashboards with Edge browser.

Yes, that works fine.

 

I am not sure why our dashboards are behaving differently. We are using direct query to pull data from Azure SQL but other than that we are just talking about standard pie charts with default colours assigned to the segments. They are completely different pbix files published to different workspace groups in the service so not sure if that has any bearing.

    Hi jason_hill,

     

    The attached .PBIX file is created in Power BI Desktop version 2.39.4526.362. Please update the desktop to this latest version then create pie chart use Azure SQL database to see if issue persists.

      Here's the steps I performed:

       

      • Updated to the latest BI desktop
      • Created a completely new PBIX with a simple pie chart pulling data from Azure via DirectQuery
      • Copied the PBIX and just changed the connection to a different Azure database
      • Published those PBIX files to two different workspace groups within the BI service
      • Pinned the live page for each report into new dashboards
      • Open the BI service and opened the first new dashboard - the pie chart colours are fine
      • Switched to the other new dashboard and the pie chart colours are a bit whack. Refreshed the page and the colours are fine.

      So, yes the problem still occurs with the latest BI desktop and creating a new PBIX with a really simple pie chart.

        Hi jason_hill,

         

        I notice you copy the .PBIX, please pin the live page for the original report to see if issue occurs.

         

        Also can you open the original .PBIX file and save as different .PBIX file to duplicate the report? Then publish these reports to service and pin live page to see if color changes?
