    jdobrzen,

    Do you have bidirectional crossfiltering enabled for any relationships in the data model? What used to happen prior to January 2018 was that columns that had Show Items With No Data enabled would not respect bidirectional crossfiltering, and in this case, visual shows N values for the column with Show Items With No Data in Desktop, after publishing the report to the Power BI Service, that column shows less than N values.

    However, in February update of Power BI Desktop, visual shows less than N values for the column with Show Items With No Data, which is consistent with Power BI Service.  And this behavior is actually the correct one.

    If you prefer the old behavior of not having the filters impact the Show Items With No Data columns you can disable bidirectional crossfiltering in the data model.
