    Solved it. I saved the file with another name, published it and the visual renders fine...Something breaks in the service (I guess) when I publish the original file. 

     

    Thanks for your time and suggestions!

    Best Paul.

Hi PaulDBrown ,

I have tested it both in Edge and Chrome in my environment to try to reproduce it but both of them seem work fine. One reason that could cause this issue may be the browser cache. Perhaps you can try to clear the browser cache to try it again. 

If not help, you can share some screenshots and show the details of the error message for further discussion.

    Hi! Thanks for looking into this.

    I just tried clearing the cache, but no luck.

    Here are the screenshots:

    Same page as seen in PBI service:

     

    Thanks again,

    Best

    Paul.

    PS. not sure if this is helpful, but there are no gateways being used. I update the data manually in Desktop and then publish the file. As I say, this started occurring late last week. It was rendering fine before then (for weeks)

      Hi PaulDBrown ,

      Based on my research, one reason that could cause this issue is that the data point limit in scatter chart. As your mentioned previously, you refresh data in power bi desktop manually, your dataset maybe too large while the data point limit in scatter chart is 3500 if you have not enabled 'High-Density Sampling' in it. If so, you can try to enable this option and try it again.

      Please refer this document about it: High density sampling in Power BI scatter charts

        Thanks again for the suggestion. I checked and the "High Density Sampling" setting is on (it is by default I believe).

        I don't think the sampling can be causing the problem, since the values are by country, and I have about 200 in the dataset.

         

        I'm really baffled. I might have to resort to deleting the visual and re-doing it, which is a real pain since there are bookmarks associated to it. It doesn't really make much sense since it works fine in Desktop. It just breaks when published.

         

        I'm going to try saving the report as a new file and publish that. See if that auto-magically solves it...

        Any other ideas before I re-do the whole thing?
