Helper VVisio and PowerBI
Helper VHi Allen, I am using the Visio visualisation - my point is why does the file need to reside in OneDrive for Business or Sharepoint (for Business - I assume?). Please explain.
Also, when creating my Visio visual - in Visio, I plugged my data in (Excel s/sheet) as per the tutorials online. It looks great - i.e. i've got progress bars, star rating etc... However, when I put my file into OneDrive for Business and embed this into PowerBI using the Visio Visualisation visual from marketplace, it loses all of the fancy KPI info - i.e. colours, star rating etc... It reverts to plain text and looks very 1960s. Why is this happening? Please explain too.
Thanks.

Community SupportHi, SachinC
OneDrive refresh synchronizes datasets and reports with their source files. By default, Power BI checks about every hour if a dataset connected to a file on OneDrive or SharePoint Online requires synchronization. OneDrive refresh does not pull data from the original data sources. It simply updates the resources in Power BI with the metadata and data from the .pbix, .xlsx, or .csv file. And Visio Visual requires third-party cookies for *.sharepoint.com and *.powerbi.com (or respective SharePoint and Power BI domains for your company) to be allowed in the browser being used.
It is strange to lose all information, please check 'Custom Visual Settings' in 'Tenant Settings' of admin portal in Power BI Service and the limitations of visio cutom visual.
