    Hi ChayaL,

     

    What you are looking to do will not be possible to solve with custom visuals. The approach you're using with embedding is the "correct" way to approach what you're doing.

     

    For security reasons, custom visuals cannot communicate (or even know about) other visuals on the same page, or other report assets such as the data model. They are only permitted to access the data that Power BI gives them (i.e., what columns and measures the creator supplied to make the visual dataset, or any measures used for conditional formatting). 

     

    Regards,
