Hi there

sorry my fault. An error in the formula. It is weird the error didn't show up with previous PBI desktop (Jan 31, 2024 version)

Hi there, Ii don't know if this is related to the new version or to visual calculation but I

 

 

have a couple of strange behaviours that i didn't have in the previous versions. The first concerns the use of the Ciclet Slicer version 2.1.10. As you can see, in the desktop version the text is visible, in the web version the text disappears completely or partially. This did not happen with all versions prior to this Version: 2.126.927.0 64-bit (February 2024)

this is not related to visual calculations, I suggest opening an issue separately for this to get help.

I think you may want to mention that in order to test this people would need to know to download the new Desktop version that was posted on friday, and that they need to enable it in the preview features section of the options and settings, and then restart Power BI Desktop.  Of course it would be much nicer if the release would have been timed with the blog post!

[jeroenterheerdt]

agreed!
