As I wrote above, after having published it, the three did appear. Thus it is unlikely that that you will see three missing visuals now.

 

Btw, my data has a medical research background. Onedrive, dropbox etc are a big nono.  Lastly, I reverted to the august version because the latest version screwed my excel source files. So I did not use the latest version. Could that be a lead to work on?

I found that there was an similar issue opened internally for the Aug 2016 Release (Not repro with the Jul 2016 Release): When customers import custom visuals from PBI Desktop, their visuals are not added to the visualizations pane.

 

This issue is still in Active state now. I think you can try it later after PBI team resolve it. And now you can use the workaround (publish the report firstly) to make the custom visuals shown in PBI Desktop. I also suggest to add comment here to let PBI team know about it.

 

Best Regards,

Herbert
