Hi dpack,

If you're looking to do IBCS-compliant charts, I suggest you have a look at Zebra BI in the custom visuals Marketplace - it is a commercial custom visual but the convenience trade-off is worth the cost IMHO, particularly as it's the only IBCS-certified visual that Power BI has and they are the gold standard for financial reporting. They have more information over on their website if you wish to know more. They offer a 30 day free trial so you can see if it suits your needs.

If you're not looking to purchase a license, but can afford the time to explore, it's possible that you could use Charticulator to design it (the trade-off being that not all Power BI features are present in exported visuals), or you can look into developing a custom visual (but this is a time-expensive and skill-intensive option).

Good luck!

Daniel

I prefer TrueChart, if I would pay for a tool. Because in True Chart are many more Options to make a perfect IBCS Report than in Zebra.

My goal now is to find out how fare I can go with the on Board tools. I cannot believe that it is not possible to make a border around a bar.

I have tried Charticulator but the output cannot use a Dimension from a cube in the Axis. I don't know why.

Thanks for your reply.
