Report visuals not rendering in PowerBI Service

[DoubleJ]

Hello

I created a report in PowerBI Desktop and published it. After the publish everything works fine. But after the first data refresh the report visuals are not rendered anymore (see printscreen).

- If I edit the report in the browser and add a new visual it is not rendered either

- I can confirm that the datasource provides the data: I can create a new report and it is rendered correctly. Also "View Insights" on the datasource works fine.

- Datasource is an SQL Azure Database

I made the report publicy available.  When you watch carefully you might see that the visuals actually are being displayed for a fraction of a second before turning empty.

BTW: This report ist meant to be a demo report to demonstrate the capabilities to potential customers. 

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks alot

@DoubleJ In my experience when report is rendered for a fraction of a second and then goes blank is due to caching and it goes blank beause RLS (row level security) is implemented on report which doesn't return any rows. Have you checked that RLS is not enabled in the report.

@ankitpatira thanks for your advise! I haven't used RLS yet. I have not set up any roles:

RLS

 Did you think of that? 

Still... when I publish the report it is displayed correctly but after the first data refresh all the visuals go blank. Any further idea?

@DoubleJ i haven't come across this before. only other way i can think of is if there is an issue with power bi service and since data refresh is not delta but full when you refresh all the data is getting wiped out but then checking this page here power bi service does not have any known issues.

can you use directquery and publish it that way.

I cannot change to direct query as this option is grayed out

Issue is solved, I hope for good. The report is rendered as desired now. I have not made any relevant changes though. I have no idea what caused the issue. Nevermind if it stays like this...
