Previously, my Power BI file had the option to format the card value. But now it’s missing. I installed updated the Power BI version too. There isn't any option to format the value color conditionally in card visual.
It's a bug with an imminent fix. It should be fixed in version 2.109.782.0 according to the discussion on Power BI forums:
Conditional Formatting missing in September release

Here is my situation.
I built a visual using Power BI Desktop. Everything works fine on this visual, no problem.
When I publish this visual, it errors out. The data that I am using is the same on Desktop vs the server and database I am publishing the report to.
Why could this be? Has anyone ever encountered this before?
Goal: Make the published Power BI report not error out anywhere.
Error message I am getting:
Couldn't retrieve the data for this visual. Please try again later.
Edit #1: It's really weird, when I use my table visual and filter for 1 of 3 different values, it works fine, but when I use a combination, that's when it errors out. Weird.
I'm not sure why this works but when I use the COUNTROWS DAX measure instead of just using a column and selecting COUNT from the drop down, it works fine.
I'm new to PowerBI.
I wanted to create a scorecard that looks like the one in data studio where it displays the total value and percentage change from the previous period.
Below is the screenshot from Google Studio
You can add % from the data view in powerbi desktop,
PowerBI has some learning curve compare to Google Studio. I would recommend you to explore more and get yourself comfortable and try to find answers yourself.
But you should be able to achieve the output you're expecting using measures. Measures are similar to excel formula that allow you to calculate from existing values.

Is there a way to change Power BI interface to a dark theme? I don't have a old version on Power BI to revert to, and since they've released the new version the interface seems to be light only.
I have tried to look in File>Options and Settings>Settings but I can't see any options there for any themes.
Power BI Desktop only comes with the light theme since the interface change about 6 months ago, and there is no 'dark mode' at this time. MS have stated that it is on the roadmap for Power BI Desktop, but as of Nov 2020, there is no confirmed date.
There is an Power BI Ideas for this option which you can vote for, which is in the top 5 of the voted ideas so far.
I am trying to create a power bi replicating the tableau report. In tableau, it automatically group the values when we place the columns in rows pane. But in Power BI, I am not able to group the exact same way of tableau report. Please help me how to group the values in report pane of power bi.
I have tried table and matrix visualization but I am not getting the same view like tableau
Need to create the same visuals like tableau report. Attached images
As mentioned in this post, there is no exact visual copy of the Tableau visual you show for PowerBI. Instead, it offers the matrix visual where indentation is used to show groups. This, for instance, allows for a nice presentation of subtotals in your visual, something Tableau does differently. If you are really keen on getting the visual appeal closer alike, try changing the indentation under Formatting Options > Row Headers > Stepped layout indentation. That's the closest you are going to get given the current constraints of Power BI.
I am using Power BI desktop to analyse data
I built a graph and from this graph I right clicked then got to "Analyze" option then choose "Find where the distribution is different"
So far everything is ok
I get the analysis I want
But when I try to copy the text, i found it is uncopyable.
how can I copy the analysis text and charts to word document?
Power BI desktop doesn’t it support currently, but you can export the report through PowerPoint format (publish the report to Power BI Service and select File->Export to PowerPoint).
Another option is to make a screenshot of the report and insert it into Word document. See discussion here
