TypeError: activePage.createVisual is not a function (Power BI JavaScript API)
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to dynamically add a visual to an embedded Power BI report using the createVisual() method as documented here:
π Microsoft Docs: Create a visual in Power BI embedded
However, when I try to execute the following code:
try {
const pages = await this.report.getPages();
const activePage = pages.find(p => p.isActive);
if(!activePage)return;
const visualLayout = {
x: 0,
y: 0,
z: 0,
width: 300,
height: 300
};
const visualResponse = await activePage.createVisual('pieChart', visualLayout, false);
const newVisual = visualResponse.visual;
await newVisual.update({ title: "Count of RelatedParty by TaxJurisdiction" });
console.log("β
Visual created:", newVisual);
} catch (error) {
console.error("β Error creating visual:", error);
}I get this error:
TypeError: activePage.createVisual is not a function
at _PowerBiService.<anonymous> (power-bi-service.service.ts:151:47)
at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
at fulfilled (main.js:10:24)What Iβve Checked So Far:
β My Power BI JavaScript API version is up to date ( "powerbi-client": "^2.23.1")
β
The report is properly embedded and interactive
β
getPages() works fine, meaning activePage is a valid object
Any insights or solutions would be really helpful! π
Thanks in advance! π
