Hi,

Since yesterday i cannot use Power BI Desktop app,
After file is opened, all charts are showing errors.
Can be related to Power BI Mar 2025 update, it was released on Mar 31.
Tried to use prev versions of PBI, works better but still with same error.
Tried to reinstall windows, install fully new copy, still same problem

Same issue.
I found out that it is pertaining to dates - callendars function problems when there are couple of visuals with dates used in any form (slicer and table/or matrix and you move slicer - it glitches) - see print screent. Also - any measure and its derivatives from callendar/date usage has problem as well (sameperiodlast year, max (date) etc). Also - nothing is wrong when getting file to windows laptop (have mac pro3 and lenovo t14 gen3) - works and everything is fine.
Also - trouble on desktop - cloud is no problem if you manage to get the job done with those glitches and publish the report to power BI service - it works in the cloud, even glitched on desktop.
P.S. Ask of my impresions of Mac - moved to it in September..... :-D

Good find, have you let the developers/support know of your findings?

I guess, they have no problem figuring this thing out - as mentioned above, they understand its due to some deeper coding. Nevertheless - if not solved within a week or two, will simply move back to Win PC: too much habits developed and problems known to run into new ones (mac has always been portrayed as problem free riding - sorry to say - not. Simple absence Ctrl + Scroll kills half of joy... )
 
Good guess! I went back and checked my visuals, and I isolated the following problem: filtering an amount of money with "is greater than" 0:

This causes the visual to crash:

Changing the filter to check if the value is empty and is greater than 0 solves the problem:

Hope this helps!

I've had a call from MS support saying that MS is not supporting the use of PBI desktop on Mac/Parallels (any more). Therefore, he can't help me and the dev team will probably not work on a solution.
Maybe we should go back to using Tableau ...!
 
Hey guys - I created an account just for that topic...
This is ridiculous - if I downgrade to January version, I cannot open my dashboard that was created with August version.
I cannot try FilipeC2's comment as I don't find this settings. Anyone to confirm FilipeC2's solution?
