Question Regarding Sample Report Referencing Old Visual Version.

Hi @Tungm,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

The issue you're encountering—AppSource validation error "1180.2.3 Sample File"—is because your .pbix sample file references an older version of your custom visual (v1.2.0.0) instead of the new version (v1.6.1.2) that you're submitting.

How to Fix It

Here’s a step-by-step fix to ensure your .pbix file correctly references the updated .pbviz visual:

1) Open your .pbix file in Power BI Desktop.

2) Delete the old visual

3) Go to the Visualizations pane.

4) Locate your custom visual (v1.2.0.0) and remove it from all pages and from the pane if it appears as imported.

5) Import the new .pbviz (v1.6.1.2)

6) Go to Visualizations → ... (Import a visual from a file).

7) Select your newly built .pbviz file (v1.6.1.2). Re-add it to the report as needed (if it was used in visuals).

9) Save the report after ensuring the visual used is from the local import (v1.6.1.2), not from AppSource.

10) Re-export your .pbix sample file and validate again.

Note:

Power BI sometimes auto-resolves visuals from AppSource, especially if the visual ID is already published.

1) To prevent this Import the .pbviz manually every time from your local system.

2) Ensure that the pbiviz.json file contains the correct:

• GUID
• Visual name
• Version (1.6.1.2 in this case)
