Visual API 1.7 is available

tzvikei — Wed, 05 Jul 2017 07:23:08 GMT

API 1.7 for custom visuals is available in the PowerBI-visuals-tools.

This version introduces the much anticipated advanced filtering API, to enable semantic queries on the Power BI data model.

tzvikei I tried to create a custom visual based on this template

pbiviz new My Visual Name

I get an error in the constructor because the options parameter is undefined. Why is this, were are this options coming from?

Hello Ernesto,

You shouldn't use space at name of your custom visual.

It would be better to use "MyVisualName" instead.

v-viig I appreciate you following up. I got my issue posted and resolved in another ticket. It was not related to the name, actually it seems that the tool correct the name automatically by removing spaces.

Does this sample report work on your machine in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service?

What is a report tab? Is that a report page?

Hi,

Sync slicers are not yet supported for custom visuals. We are working to add that support soon.

Thanks,

It's called a hierarchy slicer in the custom visuals.

If I'm not mistaken you want Hierarchy Slicer to filter data on all of report pages. Is that correct?

If so, this is called Sync Slicers feature that is not supported for custom visuals so far.
