    Hi PrachiJain06 ,

     

    If you want to explore the metadata of your existing pbix files as per my knowledge it's possible.Convert that file to.zip file it will expose the internal file structure of your pbix file.

    I hope it will be helpful.

     

    Thanks,

 Want to make some changes to the current default visual to make my report compatible, based on minor adjustments. Can we get those deafult Visual code on Monthly update as well?

    Hi PrachiJain06 ,

     

    You may be able to get the pwoer bi visuals based on the following command, then change it to suit your needs and finally package it for use.

    npm install -g powerbi-visuals-tools

pbiviz new <visual-name>

pbiviz package

     

    Hope it helps!

      Hello  TomMartens  , Anonymous 

       

      Thank you for the response.

       

      As I tried, the pbiviz new <visual-name> command creates a new visual. However, I am looking to modify existing Power BI default visuals (such as Bar charts or Pie charts) by accessing their code. I intend to make minor changes where needed while preserving the existing visual functionality.

       

      Where can I access the source code for the default Power BI visuals so that I can make minor changes? Additionally, with monthly updates, is it possible to obtain the updated code packages for these default visuals?

       

       

      Thank you

      Prachi Jain
