Helper IITable Preview Text Not Showing up in Power BI App
Hi seabrew,
As we cannot reproduce the same issue on out environment, I would suggest you create a support ticket on Power BI Support page for better assistance on this issue. :smileyhappy:

I found the reason I was having this issue and I have to say I am a bit embarassed. Shortly before I posted this question, I had created a custom JSON theme and had #FFFFFF (i.e. white) set as the foreground and tableAccent colors.
So what was really happening is that the default font color in the matrix/table was set to white against a white background.
Hopefully someone else who makes these same mistake comes across this post before they start pulling their hair out!
Helper IIDo you have the newest build of Power BI Desktop? I was prompted to update today. I had June 2017 already, but went from version 2.47.4766.542 to 2.47.4766.801. I wonder if the desktop build is the issue.
Helper III confirmed that this problem is limited to a single pbix report and pages. I can not reproduce the issue in a new pbix file. Does anyone know what to do if a PBIX file is corrupted like this? The problem persists even in new pages.
Can I fix it? I would hate to have to rebuild the data model again!

The latest Power BI Desktop version appears to have caused some problems with the way exising tables are processed in Service - similar issue here http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Style-quot-Matrix-Preview-quot-visuals-is-changed-by-PBI-Service/m-p/200291#M27016 - in my case I immediately noticed the formatting had changed in Service, and when trying to edit, the visual has been converted from the table preview to a matrix

I noticed the same thing mentioned in your link when I added a table. In Desktop the rows did not alternate in colors, yet in the service they were alternating row. I fixed this by toggling a different table style, then going back to None, and republishing.
I ended up repurposing the "corrupted" .pbix and using it only as shared data model. I needed to make the switch to having the data model exist separately anyways. New .pbix files using the PowerBI Service connect are displaying the table preview correctly.
I hope MSFT gets this fixed soon!
