    You should use getFormatStringByColumn method to get a correct type that has been specified by Power BI Desktop.

     

    I'd recommend that you should use valueFormatter to format values.

    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.

Please clarify these items:

  • What version of pbiviz do you use (pbiviz --version)?
  • What version of npm do you use (npm --version)?

 

I suppose that your PC has npm 2 or less. This is why some dependencies weren't installed.

    Hi v-viig,

     

    My npm and pbiviz version are-:

    Actually the reason behind error was, in  .../node_modules/powerbi-visuals-utils/lib/index.d.ts file (U can find this file here)

     

    first line is throwing error.

    if I am removing this line then NO error is there while starting the custom visual...but custom visual is not displaying anything just a blank iframe in power BI service. with this blank iframe, in console getting this error-:
