Couldn't agree more. This visual is critical to our reports because the alternative search feature set available using drop downs is horribly non-user friendly. The base format of a search box has always been a form of a simple text filter. It's baffling to me that a modern system could be implemented without one. This will be a huge blow if we can't find an alternative.

Agree we use it in most of our reports and don't have any alterative. It isn't the most performant or feature rich visual but it is the best we have.

I wish there was a native integration with Cognitive Search in Power BI.

I enjoy Gantt 2.2.3 very much but I do need help with an improvement. For some reason the "End Date" does not give the normal options for a date visual field. I have attached a document showing the difference between the "Start Date" & "End Date" fields (First Screenshot). Second Screenshot shows a discrepancy between the raw data and what comes into the visual for Sch Finish DateTime (My data field). I'm assuming that the issue on Second Screenshot of the attached may solve the issue, otherwise I may need help with that as well.

To verify the issue was with the data field on the visual I dragged the Sch Start DateTime field being used in the Start Date field and still was not given the normal options of showing the date or the date heirarchy (this is the normal behavior when date fields are used on visuals.

For the Gantt 2.2.3 visualization, when I try to customize the format of the date that shows on the tooltip, there is an issue where when I try to format the date as 'MM/YYYY' the month always shows as 0. The only time I can get the month to show up successfully is by simply typing 'M' but then it only shows the month and date and not the year. Anytime I try to show month and year in the tooltip, the month zeroes out. The default format of the tooltip is no good either because it shows time. I'm just trying to ge it to show "MM/YYYY" for the tooltip.

It works in my report using 2.2.3. Although, I have to write "MM/yyyy" (y's in lower-case). Could this be due to issue with how the localization is set up for you?

For the timeline slicer, link is broken and will include another visual if you import it.

Hello All,

I've been trying to use the Outliers Detection. But we have to install DMwR package from R into PowerBI.  But DMwR has been archieved by R and can't install.  Therefore the Outliers Decection is not working.  I managed to find DMwR version 2 in the R Studio. Can anyone suggest any solution so that we can use the Outliers Detection, please.

Thank you

Hi, How can you find the developer from a custum visual? I use Radar Chart (https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104380771?tab=Overview)  and have some (urgent) suggestions for better functionality...

Thanks!

Hi everybody, 

we developed a Power BI visual and want to make it freely available within the appsource. Unfortunately, there is no "add Power-Visual" listed in our Partner Center as described in the documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/power-bi/developer/visuals/office-store. Anyone experienced similar problems or can help?

Thanks!

How does one go about getting an existing app update?  The Timeline 2.4.0 is great but it need a update to allow the Fiscal Year to appear correctly in the display area.  Currently if you don't take Jan as your beginning of the year an have a different beginning of the year, the Month display shows the title with the Year for the end of the period.  So a fiscal year of 2021-2022 the app shows only 2022.

Hi all,

I'm trying to add some custom visuals (such as Power KPI Matrix) from files to a PBI report using PBI Desktop (Jan 21 version), and the icons simply don't show up in the "Visualisations" section.

I see a message "The visual was successfully imported into this report", but nothing happens.

This issue seems to be resolved in the newest (May 21) release.

Is this a known issue in Jan 21 version?

Could it be that there's an issue with my PBI Desktop installation?

Thanks,
David

Hi everyone,
I am using this word cloud visual for a client project and I have a problem with it.

We have 7 words but nothing shows up in the cloud!!! 

Is there a minimum number of words for them to show in the word cloud? !

Chiclet Slicer 1.6.3 and Attribute Slicer 2.1.2 both not loading on Report Server (Oct 2020 OR JAN 2021) for some of our customers. The issue seems to be a timeout with slow VPN connections: if the visual doesn't load or render within a few seconds, it stops loading altogether and won't show at all. Other standard visuals like tables or bar charts are shown. Refreshing the same report several times always leads to the same issue. Is there a solution for this? Like enabling longer loading time / no timeout for visuals in the report or some other settings? Can you direct me to someone who can help with this?

I was linked here through PowerBI custom visual support link for Gantt visual. Where could I download the older version of Gantt? I'm looking for the version as per the screenshot on the product overview with a black line for task completion%. The latest visual which use overlay colour density gets messy when I enable 'Group Task' functionality.

drop a mail to Power BI Custom Visuals Support <pbicvsupport@microsoft.com> and they will help you to get the older version visual file.

CHICLET SLICER 1.6.3 is not displaying in Google Chrome when I deploy my report to report server.  I can see everything in the slicer on my desktop-report server, but both my customers and I dont see the slicer on Report Server-deployed.  My customers use Edge as default but want to make sure it works in both browsers.  Can you direct me to someone who can help with this?

Hi all,

the Attribute Slicer is not certified anymore, therefore my company is not allowing to use this visual anymore. Is it possible to certify it again? 
The Attribute Slicer is the visual I use most for my dashboards.
