Custom visuals on Powerbi.com

Hi all,

 

I'm using a really nice "Long Text Viewer" custom visual...to show narrative type data about the metrics a user has selected for analysis.  What a cool visual--word wraps perfectly, scroll bars if needed, handles measures and columns.

 

When I put my model on Powerbi.com, however, it doesn't show at all.  I had no idea that custom visuals were restricted to desktop...

  1. Is that the way it is?  or
  2. Is it a problem with the visual? or
  3. Is it the april powerbi release?

Any ideas are welcome!

Tom

      Hmmm...this afternoon, it came alive after several weeks.  Perhaps Microsoft is having some success with the issue.  And for anyone who hasn't tried it, the Long Text Viewer is very useful and well done.  Tom

    Custom visuals definitely are supported on powerbi.com. Not sure why that particular one isn't working for you but I have several reports with custom visuals online and have for a month or two now.

      OK, (whew) good to know.  That narrows it down.  Thanks, Tom

        Is the visual completely absent online, or is there a placeholder box with an error message?
