Hi donbesada,

 

I haven't noticed that you used PowerBI RestAPI calls to load data, so I could not open the .pbix file you shared. To determine whether it is related to data source, would you please create another simple file which imports data from a different data source (like excel or SQL...), publish it to service to see whether line markers will disappear?

Hi Yuliana,

 

Just tried with an Excel spreadhseet as the data source and same issue.

 

Line markers are displayed on PowerBI Desktop but do not show up on Service.

    Hi donbesada,

     

    This is very odd behavior. In your scenario, can you see the line markers if creating report directly on service site?

      Hi Yuliana,

        Ok so I think the issue is browser related: issue is seen on Safari and Firefox on MAC OSX.

         

        If I use Google Chrome Canary on MAC OSX, I'm able to see the markers.

         

        Markers also show up on Firefox on Ubuntu.

         

        Regards,
