Hello,

I am using the Power KPI Matrix visual version 3.1.1 and noticed that there are some visual formatting options missing in a newer version of a file that uses this.  The Category, Subcategory, and Category Subtotal options are present on an older version of a file with this visual but they are not present on a newer version.

Does anyone happen to know what happened to the Category, Subcategory, and Category Subtotal options on the latest version of this visual?

Thank you,

Bailey

Hi!,

i'm using power KPI 2.0 custom visual, and I realized that lack two common features that most visuals have.

1- having a chart, let's say, x -time, y - sales amount, if you click in any of the points the visual doesn't work as a time filter as other visuals do.
2- It is not possible to use page tooltips with this visual.

Am I wrong?

Is there any workaround? especially for the first one.

Thank you.

Can you add vertical grid lines for the visual "Gantt" version 2.2.3.0. And respectively a setting toggle switch to turn it on or off. Currently there are only horizontal grid lines, however it's usefull to visually relate to the date in the header. Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, you're right.

There is a limitation for this bucket (see the following picture)

As a solution, you can fork the visual repository, adjust condition inside cpabilities.json, change a visual GUID iside pbiviz.json, build a new package using npm run package script and import a package file into your report.

Hi. I'm using the Gantt 2.2.3 and have an issue. When I edit the report in Power BI desktop, the legend colors are correct, however when I publish in my workspace the legend colors dissapear.

 I am using the most current version of the Microsoft 2.2.3 Gannt chart and I cannot seem to get the black completion line to display. I am using start and finish dates, dates are date format. The tooltip shows 100% complete yet no black line. How do I get the black completion light to show. Thanks in advance. Elizabeth Tachjian

Text Filter no longer works with part of a value in my tenant. 
So, for example, I cant search for "user.na" and get "user.name@company.com"

Hi Everyone,

The custom visual Sankey Chart does not allow tooltip customization at all. Does anyone know a workaround ? or any other visusal that I can use as its alternate. 

Any help will be much appreciated. 
Thanks.

[v-evelk]

Hi,

The visual provides standard tooltip style as many other MS visuals.

Could you clarify please what do you mean under tooltip customization?

Thanks for replying @v-evelk 

What I meant was that the tooltip only shows the name of the node and count. I also want to be able to show percentage of previous in it. The tooltips can not be configured as there is not option to add more measures to display in tooltip.

I hope I have clearified my query

Hi,

We will consider this changes in the next visual release but there isn't any ETA for a while.

The Timeline Slicer took me here for it's support URL:  https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104380786?src=office&tab=Overview

I have a problem with this visual, when publish to Report Server (Sept 2019 edition) when viewing this visual on the report server Chrome/Edge/Firefox on multiple PC's that I've tested. The visual does not filter the data, it does work in PowerBI Desktop, but not when it's published. 

I need to use this Microsoft Visual addon, where do I go to get support?

Hi,

On powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/custom-visuals  I read that Microsoft finally has decided to share the source code of all the visuals that ship with Power BI:

"We want you to be ready to extend Power BI. So we've provided the source code for all the visuals we ship in Power BI. You can quickly create high quality custom visuals for Power BI."

I checked github but cannot find a complete repository of the source codes.

Could someone please tell me the location of the source code of e.g. the 'matrix' and 'scatter chart' visual?

Thank you,

Martijn

Hi Martijn,

This landing page is temporary and contains obsolete info.

We will update it soon.

The source code for core visuals is private, hovever, we have got a collection of visuals with open source code. You can find them on that page.
