    Hi Anonymous,

     

    From official documents, the barcode data category is used to filter report by scanning the barcode in real world. For example, the corresponding product number of a barcode is 7290010237530, also there is a productNo field in desktop containing this value. When we scan the barcode of the real product, we can view its related report generated in desktop.

     

    However, to display barcode format in report view, it is not yet supported now. For details, please have a look at this video.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi v-yulgu-msft ,

     

    I now also want to generate and display barcodes in reports from strings or numbers.
    Does Power BI support such features currently ?

    Sincere thanks.

    Hello,

    it was not supported in 2018, and now?

    Is there a way to show barcodes in a visual as graphic, and not digits?
