Hi @amitchandak 

Thanks for your reply.

I have a .pbiviz file which is imported to Power BI as Custom visual.

We are trying to see the code behind this .pbiviz file so that we can tweak the code based on our requirement.

Thanks

Hi @Shadaiv ,

Do you want to modify the existing .pbiviz file and customize it as your own custom visual, you can refer to the following links to get it, hope they can help you solve the problem.

Extracting .ts file from pbiviz file

Edit Power BI pbiviz custom visual package

Instead of zipping back, you can keep the original .pbviz file, open it with a software like 7-zip and replace the files you need. This way, Power BI still recognizes it like a valid custom visual.

Important: it's necessary to replace the guid in every file for a new one, otherwise your fix will be replaced

by the version on marketplace.
