    Hi All,

     

    After much trial and error, I have found a way to get the old MS Charticulator visual definitions working with the new Community versions.

     

    Please be aware that there are 2 Community Versions:

      1. One is MS Certified – Charticulator Visual Community (View)
      2. One is *NOT* MS Certified - Charticulator Visual Community (Editor)

     

     It seems that to be able to change the existing Viz from the old MS Charticulator to either of the new Community versions, you need to follow these steps:

     

    1. Make sure that you have the Options and settings -> Options -> Preview features -> on-object interaction Checked.
    2. Open your broken pbix that has the MS Charticulator visual.
    3. Download the  “Charticulator Visual Community (View)” community version of Charticulator.
    4. Click on the old Charticulator visual that is on your workspace
    5. Click the On-Object “Add Data and build your visual” icon
    6. You will see “Suggest a visual” drop-down.
    7. Toggle “Arrange data for me” from off to on.             
    8. Click the “Charticulator Visual Community (View)” Visual in the drop-down box
    9. Fix the field assignments and click the confirm button

     

    This is far from ideal but I have found this works for each of my reports so far.
