Bugs in Feb-25 version of Power BI Desktop

The February 2025 (latest) release of Power BI Desktop has introduced a few critical bugs that may disrupt your workflow.

We have identified following bugs in the Feb-25 version of Power BI Desktop:

1. Visuals are not working due to “Measures” Table Naming Issue. This does not display the visuals which use measures from "Measures" table.

2. Dialogs from custom visuals are not opening: Dialogs (like analytics panel, conditional color, sorting) are not opening in Power BI Desktop.

   This issue has been fixed in next version (Version: 2.140.1454.0; fixed on March 10, 2025) of Power BI Desktop. More here: Known issue - Custom visuals using dialog or download API don't work in February Desktop - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

Microsoft have confirmed that they are actively working on these issues. For the time being they have suggested following workaround:

1. Use the Power BI web service (https://app.powerbi.com) until the issue with the current desktop version is resolved.
2. Download and install the November 2024 version of Power BI Desktop or any earlier release.

• Uninstall the current version of Power BI Desktop.
