Fetch entire data set
Is it possible to fetch the entire dataset (not just the user-given dimensions and measures) programmatically in a custom visual?
Hi Anonymous,
This is definitely not possible with custom visuals and is much the same way the core visuals work. Visuals don't know about the data model - they just know what data has been given to them from Power BI for the given data roles (field containers) specified in the visual capabilities and their logic will act upon it as designed.
