    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!

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!
