Render HTML objects in Report

I have an iFrame object that displays the health of our data sources (e.g. did our Pipelines finish refreshing or was their a failure). I would like to display this in a visual on my report. From my reading (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Placing-iframe-into-Power-BI-report/td-p/413498) I have found reference to an older custom visual html viewer, that seems to no longer be available. 

 

I was currious how people are now over-coming this as there doesn't seem to be a 1:1 replacement for this visual. I've also considered trying to use the python visual, but with the packages currently supported in the python runtime in Power BI, I don't think that is an option. 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

@SpartaBI  - I had come across that but I don't know that this is what I'm looking for. It looks like the HTML content pack is intended to use html to provide the dimensions on which to report (e.g. Sales by country). What I am looking for is really like a window (visual) that will display the status of our in Power BI. So in my case I don't have a measure that I am reporting on which seems to be required by this custom visual.

@accortdr so maybe try put a measure that return an empty string and use it inside your html code

@accortdr just to make sure, have you checked the HTML Content custom visual?

Users who work for real companies can't use user-made, unsupported objects in the real world.

 

Apparently many PBI users use PBI for hobby work that they can use stuff like this.

 

Ridiculous that there's NOTHING FROM MICROSOFT that can render HTML, much less render it in a table with other non-html columns. 

 

The more I use Power BI, the more it sucks. Why is the 30 year old SSRS so much more capable?

I have been playing around with it. The formatting is a little goofy, but I was able to get my content rendered. @SpartaBI - Thanks for the help! 

 

Any chance you could give details on how you got this to work?
