rma1215a Yes, it is possible to import a shape into Power BI. However, the options available for importing shapes are limited.

And then try to import in Power BI.

    You can follow these steps:

    Download the latest version of Synoptic Panel from the OKVIZ website or the Power BI Visual Gallery.
    Import the Synoptic Panel component into Power BI Desktop by using the three-dot button in the tools panel.
    In Power BI Desktop, select File > Import > Power BI Visuals (.pbiviz) and choose the Synoptic Panel.pbiviz file that you downloaded.
    After importing the Synoptic Panel visual, you can use it to create custom visuals from your shape created using Synoptic Designer.
