Table Preview Text Not Showing up in Power BI App

Starting today for all of the reports I publish using the table preview, the column/row text is not visable, however the grand total text is visable. If I switch the table back to the "non-preview" version, the text appears. I tried in multiple browsers. Also, I do see the Alt Text / tooltip when I hover over the missing row. 

 

Can anyone reproduce this?

 

 

  • 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 tried it on one of my reports with a table preview and I can see all the data in the tables fine.

      Ok, thanks for checking. Weird. Hopefully it resolves itself for me.

      Do 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.

        I confirmed that this problem is limited to my pbix report and pages. 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!
