Power BI Service Error - Cannot read property 'length' of null

Late last week we started receiving a new error on the Power BI Service with a few of our paginated reports. Nothing was changed in  the reports. Any ideas on the below error?

 

Note:

  • Reports were not changed, and they worked earlier in the week;
  • Although these two reports are SSRS (paginated), other SSRS reports are still working;
  • This appears to be an error with the Power BI website;
  • The reports run without error locally.

 

Tried:

  • Updating the App;
  • Deleting the file from the Workspace and App, then Updated the app and re-added the report;
  • Modifying the report in SSRS and re-published;
  • Modifying the report in Report Builder and re-published;
  • Consulting Dr. Google, this does not appear to be a known issue.

 

Error Details:

 

An unexpected error occurred
