Report not opening when clicking on tile

When users click on a dashboard tile it is not opening the report. No error message is displayed...nothing happens. The users are accessing the dashboard from the Power BI service. It is not an embedded dashboard. This just started happening a couple weeks ago for some users. It only happens in Chrome. IE and Edge work fine. Have tried clearing Browsing history, Download history, Cookies and other site data, cached images and files, Hosted app data and that did not resolve the issue. Has anyone else seen this issue? Any suggestions on possible causes?

    Microsoft pushed out a Power BI update in mid March that fixed the issue of an app not opening afterswitching between worspaces and apps. That fixed the issue for me.

     

    The other issue of a report not opening when clicking on a dashboard tile has not been happening for my users lately. I was never able to recreate it and neither was Microsoft support. It seemed to be a browser issue since it would work in incognito mode in Chrome but not regular mode. Users wouldn't have the issue in Edge or IE either. Not sure what changed but happy things are working.

      It works in both old Edge and new Chromium Edge.

       

      I am using Chrome version 80 and it is working.

      Google Chrome is up to date
      Version 80.0.3987.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)
       
      Tried it on Chrome version 79 and that worked also
       
      I will take a closer look at the link you sent.

        Hi jhills ,

         

        I'd like to suggest you to create a support ticket for further analysis.

        https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/pro/.

         

        Best Regards,

    jhills This is also happening for us too for the last several weeks.  Other organizations globally are experiencing this as well.  We have a ticket logged with Microsoft.

     

    Just for a quick workaround you can quickly clear your cache by pressing on Ctrl F5 at the same time.

    We have the same problem since yestarday! 

    But the workaround ctrl+F5 seems doesn't work.

     

    Has anyone else have another suggestion? Any idea on possible causes?

     

    Thanks for youe help!

      Anonymous  One workaround that is working for most of my users is to open the dashboard in IE instead of Chrome. Have you tried IE if that is an option for you?

       

      Opened a ticket with Microsoft on this last week. I am not able to recreate the dashboard issue yet. I can recreate a similar issue when opening an app. The app issue happens in Chrome, IE and Chromium Edge. It seems to have something to do with switching between workspaces and apps. Here are the steps I take to recreate it.

       

      1. Copy and paste URL into Microsoft Edge Browser https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/apps
      2. Click on App tile…App opens
      3. Click workspace icon on left and select a workspace
      4. Click App icon on left
      5. Click App tile…app does not open
      6. Click workspace icon on left and select a workspace…App from step 5 opens
      7. Click workspace icon on left and select a workspace…workspace opens

       

      I have submitted a Fiddler trace of it to Microsoft and am waiting to hear back.
