Power Bi Visual tools error message - Couldn't load the data for this visual

[tparvaiz]

good day,

I am using Power BI Version: 2.44.4675.422 64-bit (March, 2017) and starting with basic tasks to familiarize the tool.

as a first step, I've created an excel file with 3 data rows. something like this

file is imported fine to the power BI, as you can see here

but when I tried to create a graph/char, got an error message as follows

interestingly, when I published online, it works and data is published

for your reference I am using windows 7 professional edition (64 bit) 

Please advise

Thanks in advance

Hi @tparvaiz,

Since I could not reproduce your problem, please reboot your machine for a try. Does this error prompt when inserting a table visual? What happened if using other visuals?

I noticed that your Power BI desktop version is 2.44.4675.422 64-bit (March, 2017) which is not the latest release. If possible, I would suggest you update your desktop to the neweast release: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/desktop/?WT.mc_id=Blog_Desktop_Update which might fix some old issues existed in old version.

Besides, please follow this article to check current operating system and hardware performance. Minimum requirements

Best regards,
Yuliana Gu

Hi @tparvaiz

What happens when you click on See Details?

And would it be possible to download and install the May Update?
