I was searching on https://app.powerbi.com/visuals/ without luck , a soccer visualization heatmap which provided with player positions on pitch, create a graph similar to this.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
You can have a look at following custom visual samples built by Simon J.K. Pedersen [skjp] available on Github:
There's a pbviz version you can download and check out.
https://github.com/sjkp/heatmap/releases
You can also refer to following page to get info on how to import and use the pbiviz package on:
https://sjkppowerbi.azurewebsites.net/heatmap/
The visual pbiviz package version was built with Power BI Visuals CLI v1.2.0 version though
I guess you can manage to easily repackage it using v1.4..0
If everything goes as expected... there should be a BackgroundUrl property which allows you to define a background image
Hope this helps.
You could use a Py or R visual (using soccermatic, ggsoccer or another, for example) that would do this job in great way!

Hi @MawashiKid thank you for this solution. I have managed to successfully create a heat map using this custom visual. However I have encountered some limitations with regards to the success of displaying the background image based on a URL. It appears that images stored on file sharing platforms such as Dropbox, one drive, Google drive, etc do not work (I have ensured that they are set to being publicly available).
I am definitely no expert on power bi custom visuals, but is there anything within the visual code that would suggest this as being a limitation? And if so, do you believe there is a solution to this by either a) adapting the visual code, or b) finding an alternative method of assigning a URL to an image?
Best regards.
