Custom Visual for Power BI

Development

For general information on how to work with custom visuals, read the MS Docs article about it.

Installation

  1. First of all, to develop custom visuals, you will need to install the Power BI visual tools on Windows:

    npm install -g powerbi-visuals-tools
  2. To install all dependencies for this visual, run:

    npm install
  3. To be able to use the visual, you need to install the certificates. This doc describes in detail how you can do it.

Building the visual

pbiviz package

Debugging the visual

  1. Start the webpack server:

    pbiviz start
  2. Open Power BI Online on the same machine.

  3. Turn on developer mode in the web app's settings.

  4. Edit any report and add the "Custom Visual" from the visualization report.

Known issues

Too many text values. Not all values are shown

See here. Looks as if dataReductionAlgorithm in the capabilities.json is not yet respected everywhere.
