Power BI Web update breaks visual that use calculated columns that use PATH/PATHITEM

[gluizqueiroz]

I have a table that comes from SQL database.

Id_Employee | Id_ChiefEmployee | Name_Employee

Id_ChiefEmployee references Id_Employee

For the hierarchy, I use the following DAX:

Hierarchy = PATH(table1[Id_Employee]; table1[Id_ChiefEmployee])

The previous DAX creates for me the columns containing the hierarchy. For the name of chiefs, I use the following DAX:

Level1 = LOOKUPVALUE(table1[Name_Employee];table1[Id_Employee]; PATHITEM(table1[Hierarchy];1;TEXT))

Level2 = LOOKUPVALUE(table1[Name_Employee];table1[Id_Employee]; PATHITEM(table1[Hierarchy];2;TEXT))

The previous DAX creates 2 columns containing the names on a hierarchy.
On Power BI Desktop it works fine, when I refresh desktop, still working, when I publish, still working, but, when I referes by Power BI Web that visual breaks and show the following message:

The query referenced column 'table1'['Level 1'] which depends on another column, relationship or measure that is not in a valid state. Additional information: ''.

Hi @gluizqueiroz,

I was not able to reproduce the same problem on my side.

In your scenario, please test:

• Change data type of [Id_Employee] and [Id_ChiefEmployee] to whole number. Modify the [Level1] to below:
  

  Level1 = LOOKUPVALUE(table1[Name_Employee];table1[Id_Employee]; PATHITEM(table1[Hierarchy];1;INTEGER))

• Remove [Level1] and [Level2], just test whether [Hierarchy] column used PATH function can be updated successfully on Power BI service.
• Check whether there existing any error in "Applied Steps" in Query Editor.
• Did you configure data gateway for this data source (SQL DB) to enable data refresh on service?

Besides, here is a similar thread for your reference: The query referenced column ****** which depends on another column
