Heatstream Visual being Deprecated
Do you currently have a copy of the visual install file stored somewhere safe? If this is the case, your needs are covered for the present. Again, the project is Open Source, and appears mature without development. This is another reason folks generally are conservative and avoid custom visuals as part of the development process and risk identification effort.
Hi Anonymous - Sometimes, we may face deprecation or discontinuation of custom visuals in power bi
you can replace it with new custom visuals as per your reqwuirements. This might involve reconfiguring the data fields and formatting settings to match the new visual's requirements.
Below are supportive heatmap visuals. Check it.
Note: you can check regularly check Power BI's official blog, forums, and documentation for announcements regarding deprecated features and visuals.

Appreciate your Kudos!!
nope, tried them all. None of them are suitable.
The heatstreams visual is the only one that provides what I need. It's actually involved in the safeguarding space, and therefore critical to what we do. MS just removing it without an explanation is unacceptable and gives us another reason to move to tableau.

Yes, I have taken a copy fortuantly.
Unbelievably poor from Microsoft, unless they can show a product isn't in use or poses a security risk/application risk, they shouldn't be taking anything away. Not to mention crippling a porduct like Power Bi - less visuals make it less attractive as do more paid for visuals.
