    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?

    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!

    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...
