Custom options for each selected columns

mda — Thu, 24 Aug 2017 15:54:16 GMT

I'm creating custom table visual and I want to create options which can be set to each selected column - in the same way as it is in build in table visual.

I saw the answer from this topic custom visual enumeration issues, but the solution proposed there don't add combo with selected columns, but create a separate option for each selected column.Using this approach will take a lot of space in Format pane

I want to add many options for a single column, so using this approach will take a lot of space in Format pane.

So anyone knows how to create combobox with selected columns names, create options for each and handle selected values?

Hello @mda,

As far as I know, Power BI Custom Visuals API doesn't allow us to do so.

Please create an idea here.

OK. I post this Idea: Ability to define in capabilities object which will be populated for each selected column.

But maybe it is currently possible, but it is not documented?

Thanks,
