Different Behaviour of Custom Visual in Power BI Service and Desktop

Hi,

 

Trying to achieve a custom table visual. My dataset looks like-:

 

I am fetching format from options.dataview for columns. The diff. formats i got from datview in PBI service are-:

for "$" -> ""$"#,##0;\("$"#,##0\)"

for "%" -> "0%"

for hour -> "%h:mm tt"

 

so based on format i am prefixing/suffixing the symbol with cell element when I am printing the table. Works fine in PBI Service

 

but Desktop is giving some unexpected output.

(adding dollar sign with each cell's element)

Note-: here i have formatted hours as "time" from modelling pane.

 

A helping hand is appreciated.

    Hello v-mubish,

     

    Could you please install @types/d3@3.5.36 (npm i @types/[email protected] --save) and try to build the visual again?

    Please pay attention to the fact that you should execute all of commands in the visual's directory.

      Hi v-viig,

       

      I am not using any formatting utility like formatting-utils or any other, and powerBI shows data type "whole number" for each column except date/time column i.e. "Hour".

       

      One thing i observed, when we are changing type or format from modelling pane in PBI Desktop, that format is getting reflected in built-in table visual. But these changes when I am doing, are not getting reflected in my Custom visual.

       

      How to reslove this?
