    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

use fig.write_image('test.png'). but it's a static image, can't be interactive.

I am using this example sample code:

 

import plotly.express as px
data_canada = px.data.gapminder().query("country == 'Canada'")
fig = px.bar(data_canada, x='year', y='pop')
fig.write_image('test.png')
 
however it doesn't seem to work. When I use fig.show() it will show the chart but in a web browser.
