Power BI Build Pane Empty or Stuck? (On-Object Interaction Preview Issue)
If your Build pane in Power BI suddenly shows no fields or seems to be stuck on one visual, this video might save you some time.
This issue can happen when the On-object interaction (preview) feature is enabled.
In this situation, the Data section in the Build pane may:
• appear empty
• stay tied to one visual
Quick fixes
In the video I show two simple ways to deal with it:
• Close and reopen the report
• Use the Data icon directly on the visual to access fields
Important
This behavior only occurs when the preview feature is enabled, so it’s not an issue with your model or data.
Key takeaway
Preview features in Power BI are useful, but sometimes they come with small quirks like this.
Good to know — especially if something suddenly “breaks” without an obvious reason.
