    Hi, Anonymous 

    You can try the following steps.

     

    1 Select Python visual from Visualizations Pane to enable scripts visual

     

    2 Drag a field into Python visual as values and then click the arrow to enable script in external IDE

Python scripts do run but IDE doesn't launch. I'm pointing it to VS Code executable as it doesn't appear on the detected IDE drop-down.

Hi, Anonymous 

Your configuration in Options is correct. Then you need click the arrow to enable VS Code. Have you operated like this?

    I don't see the arrow or syntax highlighting. Tried both in get data and Query Editor windows.

        I have the same problem, but the solution provided is not valid.

        It seems that PowerBI is simply not able to accept the vs code installation path (which by the way is in the default path): after indicating the VS Code path and OK, if I reopen the Options it is again set to "Default OS program for files". PY", and of course it opens the other editor instead of Code.exe when I add a visual python.
