The 'Show DatavView' button does not work

Hi everyone,

I am following this tutorial from Microsoft Learn to create a Power BI circle card custom visual.

Learn how to develop your own Power BI visual using the circle card visual as an example. - Power BI...

But I am stucking on showing dataview.

When I press Show Dataview, nothing happens.

As you can see, the Show Dataview button already clicked.

Hi @stawpeed,

 

Yes, it seems to be the same for me, too. I'm unsure when it stopped working, but it has probably been a few months since I last checked.

 

The custom visuals team doesn't actively monitor the forums for issues, instead opting to use the appropriate GitHub repository for each tool for feedback. I'd suggest creating an issue in the powerbi-visuals-tools repo for the team to address and advise.

 

Regards,

 

Daniel

Thanks @dm-p for the link.

Hope they could give me the solution. I am new to custom visual development, It is hard for me not having the DataView.

It's very useful when starting out (and beyond!). As a workaround, IIRC, the new visual template has a console.log() statement in the update() method that will include the data view (a property in the VisualUpdateOptions object) in the console output as an object. If not, you can at least temporarily add it to your code to help with debugging and finding your way around.
