Custom visualizations multiple reports

Is it possible with PBI desktop to save custom visualizations that I repeatedly use?  For example I love the text filter visualization and want to use it on multiple .pbix without having to go to the store every single time.

 

Thanks!

Just did some scouring of the manual and it is documented that it's a limitation. It would be great if certified visuals could be saved into a custom folder or something to have it always available for visualizations that I like to repeatedly use.

Considerations and limitations

  • A custom visual is added to a specific report when imported. If you'd like to use the visual in another report, you need to import it into that report as well. When a report with a custom visual is saved using the Save As option, a copy of the custom visual is saved with the new report.

@njones2 When you dl from the store once into your system you can import it from file to your PBI desktop and it will be embeded there as one of your visuals to use later.

 


I hope this helps. If it does, please Mark as a solution.
I also appreciate Kudos.
