Best substitute for a visual
I built a Report that has a page with the Tachometer by Annik, as seen below:
I love this visual, but when either publishing the Report or exporting the Report to .pdf, instead of the visualization displaying, I see an error saying the visualization cannot display. I have not had any luck in anyone helping me resolve this issue. So now, I'm asking if you know of another visual I could use that would be displayed when publishing or exporting.
In this visual, green is acceptable (0 to 1.5%), yellow is a warning (1.5 to 3.0%), and red is an error (3.0+%). Any recommendation to either make the tachometer display or replace it with another visual that will, is very welcomed!
I replaced the visual with 'Dial Guage' from 'CloudFronts Technologies'. That visual exports to .pdf properly, as well as displays when I publish the Report.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Please check may this visual is licensed, if any visaul is licensed then it only visible on Power BI Desktop and visible on publised services or may anyother, now you need to purchased this visual.
Here are a few alternative visuals you could consider that should display correctly:
Gauge Chart: This is a common alternative to tachometers and can effectively show performance against a target. You can set ranges for green, yellow, and red to represent different performance levels.
Bullet Chart: This visual is great for comparing a single measure against a target. It uses bars to show performance and can include markers for thresholds, making it easy to see if you’re in the green, yellow, or red zone.
KPI Visual: If you need a simpler visual, a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) visual can show whether a measure meets a target. It uses color coding to indicate performance levels.
Bar or Column Chart: These can be customized to show performance against thresholds. You can use conditional formatting to color the bars or columns based on the value ranges.
Custom Visuals from AppSource: There are many custom visuals available on Microsoft AppSource that might suit your needs. Look for visuals that are known to work well with publishing and exporting.
If you need more detailed guidance on setting up any of these visuals, feel free to ask! 😊
