HTML Rendering - Is there a way to do it for published reports without a license for visuals?

[MAPM]

We're trying to show a visual with some text on the active filters that are applied. We've created a dynamic measure that shows dynamic text like this:

Active Filters:
Year: 2022

Country: US

Product: Product X, Product Y

It's similar to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kccmckYOmbw

The dynamic text is HTML because we want each filter to be it's own row + we want the filter name to be bold and the filters applied not to be bold.

So we thought we'd use this visual: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA200001930?tab=Overview

to render the HTML. Locally in Power BI Desktop this works great. However once we published it to share for our users, the visual does not render (shows an X, with show details) below it. The show details links to a page saying that a visual needs to be certified to work in the Power BI service.

There are 2 other HTML visuals that are available like this one: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA200002071?tab=Overview

which are certified, but they require a paid license to use it...

Is there no free visual that renders HTML and works for Published Power BI reports or is there another free way to display dynamic strings as measures with formatting (bold / new line)?

Working with procurement to purchase visual licenses is a relatively lengthy and painful process, so we'd like to avoid that...

Hi @MAPM ,

I applied the HTML Content visual you mentioned in my report, and when I share the corresponding report to others, they can view the report normally. You can see the two screenshots below (one is the screenshot displayed in Power BI Desktop; the other is the screenshot of the report opened by the user I shared it with). Do you have any other uncertified custom visuals in your report besides the HTML Content visual?

The report shown in Power BI Desktop

The report shown in Power BI Service by the shared person

If the user you share the report with still get an error, maybe you can try using the Card visual instead of the HTML Content visual...

Best Regards
