Extract old custom visuals

[Rick528]

Hi, I have a old pbix file with custom visuals that are no longer available (i.e., after MS moved them to the store).  They still work fine.  Is it possible to extract or copy the custom visual from an old report so that I can continue using?

Hi Rick528,

If you have them downloaded on your hard drive, you can use them. 

If you don't ... I have some of them downloaded ... which is the one you need? I might have it.

Hi,

I only have the long text viewer.

I uploaded it to dropbox.

Let me know if there is any problem downloading it

I don't suppose you have a copy of the narratives for power bi custom visual?  I have a report where I had a copy of it but finding it now seems basically impossible...

Or you can do the following ...

1.- Open the pbix file where you have the visual

2.- Change the data, deleting the old and importing the new one.

3.- Do a new report

But I'm sure you already had thought about it ...

😉

Yes I thought about that LOL.  I didnt realize that Super Bubbles and LTV were no longer available and I already did quite a bit of work and measures for the new file.  Thanks for your help!

Thank you!  That's very helpful!  I wonder if there is any way to extract from old reports?  IF a report has the visual, where does it reside?
