Hi @community,
I have an issue with using python plotly package for a custom vizualization. When I run the working python script in Power BI (tested and working in Visual Studio) it shows an error and the following message appears:
at the same time the vizualization opens a new tab in my default browser. Is it possible to somehow avoid that opening and have the vizualization opened in Power BI.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Saro

Hi @Anonymous
I'm afraid that Plotly is not supported in Power BI currenly. Based on the document, the following table shows which packages are supported in the Power BI service.
| Package | Version | Link |
|---|---|---|
| matplotlib | 3.2.1 | https://pypi.org/project/matplotlib |
| numpy | 1.18.4 | https://pypi.org/project/numpy |
| pandas | 1.0.1 | https://pypi.org/project/pandas |
| scikit-learn | 0.23.0 | https://pypi.org/project/scikit-learn |
| scipy | 1.4.1 | https://pypi.org/project/scipy |
| s eaborn | 0.10.1 | https://pypi.org/project/seaborn |
| statsmodels | 0.11.1 | https://pypi.org/project/statsmodels |
| xgboost | 1.1.0 | https://pypi.org/project/xgboost |
In addition, you could refer to this similar thread which should make sense. And you also could vote up the idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/38260432-plotly-package-support-w... .
