    Hi Anonymous ,

    I'm afraid that Plotly is not supported in Power BI currenly.

    Based on the blog, only the following Python packages (non-Intel MKL) are currently supported for use in your Power BI reports.

    • matplotlib
    • numpy
    • pandas
    • scikit-learn
    • scipy
    • seaborn
    • statsmodels

    In addition, you could refer to this similar thread which should make sense.

    Best Regards,

    Cherry

I am able now to make a plotly graph inside Power BI using python.
However, Power BI shows my graph in a new window of my browser (instead of showing into the Power BI framework).

The last line of my code is

fig.show()

How could I print it into the Power BI framework?

I believe that this was always the case and that Plotly is still not integrated in Power BI via Python. Meaning, it still won't show graphs in Power BI. I still can't understand why Plotly works with R and not Python. To the Power BI team at Microsoft, please fix this.
