Using python plolty package

[Anonymous]

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.

PYTHON PACKAGES THAT ARE SUPPORTED IN POWER BI

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-with-python .
