Narrative Visual

Hi, I;m trying to use the newly added Narrative Visual into my report and it is finally working. I'm trying to change the wordings e.g. it uses a word series where I want to say documents. Any idea ...

    ankitpatira The narrative visual is a "custom" visual, that was only announced in the PBI blogs end of last month. It doesn't show up in the custom visuals gallery and it is actually a web service that extracts your data and provides a narrative for the visual that you define. It's pretty cool, but the web service/extract my data piece makes me leary. Especially since I haven't heard anything more definitive about security and how long they store my data. Both of which are just generic FAQs on the site.

      Thanks Anonymous. Sounds cool but yeah agree with data security especially when you have sensitive data.

      Oh wow really? they extract all of the data?

      I am using SSAS and live connection just to avoid sending the data into the cloud.

       

      Thanks Eno1978 for the information

        Hi mroomi

         

        Since it's a third party custom visual, I recommed you ask for support from Narrative Science.
