I have a master-detail IG and I want to filter with the column header menu (when I click on the column header). At the master table it works perfectly on every column (e.g. as you can see), but at the detail table when I click on the header, the column values are not loaded, just "...". (as you can see too)
What could be the problem? Is this a bug maybe?
I think it's a bug in the 5.1 version. I upgraded to 20.1 and everything works fine.

I'm using Power BI (May 2020 edition) and I've encountered a very weird problem. My visuals are based on SQL Server Stored Procedure. When I initially displayed data on visuals, I realized I need to add extra column on backend and switch columns on visual. So, I did the following:
I modified my Stored Procedure and applied changes on back-end
I navigated to Data View and clicked on Edit Queries menu item. Then I right-clicked on the column I needed to move and clicked "Move Right". This way 2 columns swapped the order in which they were displayed.
Then I clicked Refresh All and after a while got all my changes - recently added column from SP and swapped columns displayed correctly on Edit Queries window.
After all these manipulations I clicked Close & Apply and was redirected to Data View of my Visuals. None of the changes were reflected. I went to Report View - the same thing, of course.
Did I do anything wrong or it's a known bug that hopefully has workaround?
Appreciate everybody's help.
P.S. I was able to refresh the data by right-clicking on "Query" dropdown on Data View and clicking "Refresh Data". However, columns order still not resolved. Looks like everything we do under Edit Queries is not reflected in May 2020 edition. Please correct me if I'm wrong or if there is a workaround. Unfortunately I can't upgrade to newer version as our server doesn't support it.
Resolved the issue - instead of going to Edit Query mode, I simply dragged fields to appropriate place in Report Mode, Visualizations pane. But I still remain puzzled why Edit Queries changes are not reflected when Close & Apply is clicked.
I am trying to apply conditional formatting to a field of a table in a report in Power BI online.
The report is connected to a dataset that is in MS Teams and continues to function. All existing conditional formatting is unchanged.
These are the steps I took:
Switch report to edit mode
Select table
Select conditional formatting - advanced controls
In the pop-up window, select "Based on Field"
Then, the drop down list is blank and says {{::placeholderText}}.
This can now be recreated in any report, new or existing, where I attempt conditional formatting.
I tried creating a new report from a new dataset, and attempted to add conditional formatting to a table. The same result happened.
I tried signing out of my Microsoft account and signing back in, but no effect.
I was able to get it working by adding ?conditionalFormattingModern=1 to the url for the online editor like this: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/reports/xxx/ReportSection?conditionalFormattingModern=1. (source of idea)
I'm not sure if it will work correctly after I publish the visual though. Apparently this isn't an issue on Power BI Desktop though- so it's probably fine.
Update: Not sure if I'm doing something wrong- but the conditional formatting doesn't seem to be actually applied. It's just that the editor window displays correctly.
Hello I am trying to raise awareness about his subject I am facing this issue, I've posted on microsoft PBI community as wel, Did you even know about this, if so, how did you do to workaround this?
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Beware-Misleading-behaviour-using-Select-all-or-none-selected/m-p/1982650#M749494
As stated in the post, I have just found half a paragraph hinting about this behaviour and all the people that I've talked to did not even know it behaved this way.
TL:DR. If you use the filter panel to filer a slicer (filter on this visual) in order to restrict the selection of a slicer (so your end user does not get lost in too many options or you want a dynamic slicer showing last x months, TOP N , basically any other advanced filtering optins given using this feature).
It only visually filters the slicer so if the user ends up using "select all" or even clearing the selection, all the data would be selected even the data you (as designer) wanted to filter out. Which is misleading since the end user would see the tag "all" over the slicer selection but when clicking on it it would only show the filtered out values, so they would naturally assume that "all" means just those values and not allvalues (hidden values included).
Example
there are only two values to be selected in the slicer but the select all option actally seelcts all values including hidden ones
One thing to check first, I bet you did not apply the filtered values in the filter pane on the whole page, rather you applied it only on the visual. Try to apply that on the whole page and it seems to work for me.
This is very strange, I have been working on this table(model) in Power BI and one of the columns is Timestamp. I used it as the axis for one visual but now the column is gone and no longer in the columns in the Field section on the right, though the visual is still working fine. What could have happened?
You could have accidentally deleted it...
Go to Transform Data to get tot he PowerQuery editor.
Click on the relevant table and then look at the APPLIED STEPS. Click on each one from the bottom up to preview the data at the selected steps to see where it has gone wrong.
Also check your data source - has it disappeared from there maybe?
Is there any possibility to show or hide the column in Table/Matrix visual in Power BI report by user dynamically?
For Example, I have a table view with columns COLUMN-1, COLUMN-2, COLUMN-3. Now I may have filter drop down to list all the column headers, so based on user selection (Multiple selections) Table view should get adjusted to show column values.
Since Power BI was developed based on Excel, curious to know if we are having Hide/Show column based on any condition or available in visual by default (Maybe by right-clicking on column header then show/hide it).
You can do this with the following workaround:
Create your page with the table showing both columns.
Create a bookmark, uncheck "Data"
Duplicate the page and remove the column you want to conditionally hide. Set the page as hidden.
Create a bookmark, uncheck "Data"
Add a button to the first page pointing to the 2nd bookmark
Add a button to the second page pointing to the 1st bookmark
Ensure your slicers are synced
The end user experience is they will feel like they are conditionally hiding and unhiding the column.
A bit crap and a lot of extra work but I have it working well in my implementation.
Currently it is not possible to hide columns in visual based on slicer selection, there is an idea about this issue, please vote it up.

Thanks!
This is now available in Power BI with preview feature "Field Parameter". Check the May 2022 update.
