Microsoft EmployeeShare your thoughts on visual calculations (preview)
Hey Jay - as an ardent follower of yours; here is what I'd like to share.
In embedded power bi reports A SKUs (embedded in the web portal)
in the edit mode, when I select visual calculations, the Calculations bar does not show and it just hangs. In the field section it is added as hidden but I can't do much with it.
Visual calculations offer an incredible opportunity in our use case because it used to be that if any of the customers wants to a custom calculation it would always have to be that they would submit a request and then that measure would have to be added and they'd have to wait until the next deployment typically weeks away. So we are genuinely excited about Visual Calcs but only if they work in web-portal (A SKU) embedded dashboards 🙂
Thanks in advance.

Hi muturuf thanks for checking in and asking this question. Visual calculations do not support embedded today unfortunately so this behavior is as expected at the moment. I would love to learn more about what you're trying to do though to help prioritize this. Can you send me a DM?

Hi Jay
I saw your Visual Cals presentation during the 'Power BI and Fabric Global summit', which brought me here.
My use case is very simple.
I have a Pro licence and and building personal Power BI reports so that I can showcase them on an online portfolio.
I use embedded so was surprised when my visual calc wasn't displaying.I have since changed this but was interested if there was anything in the future pipeline to make them supported.
Kind regards, Andrew- jeroenterheerdt
Hi Andrew, thanks for checking in! Embedded is not supported (it's listed on the limitations): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/transform-model/desktop-visual-calculations-overview#considerations-and-limitations)
but will be in the future! Would love to hear how you've worked around it.
