I am trying to create a custom Python Power BI Visualization. The actual data is a direct query from a SQL Database.
The fields I want in the visualization are in the Values section of the visualization fields
Here is the what the data table looks like.

When I start a custom Python Visualization this is what Power BI generates.
# dataset = pandas.DataFrame(Week, Reading1, Reading2, Reading3, Reading4, Reading5)
If I try the following:
df.DateFrame(Week, Reading1, Reading2, Reading3, Reading4, Reading5)
It throws an error of "name Week is not defined.
df = pandas.DataFrame('Week','Reading1','Reading2','Reading3','Reading4','Reading5')
I get "TypeError: __init__() takes from 1 to 6 positional arguments but 7 were given"
df = pandas.DataFrame("Week","Reading1","Reading2","Reading3","Reading4","Reading5")
I get "TypeError: __init__() takes from 1 to 6 positional arguments but 7 were given"
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreaciated.
Hi @moltra ,
I think maybe you miss the definition of variable. Please reference the document to check it.
https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.html
And for the specific Python script, you could ask for help from the community: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python.
