Visualize Power BI Object Dependences (Dataflows, Reports) in Visual

Hello,

 

i have created a Worksapce with lots of dataflows and reports. Sometimes Dataflows use other Dataflows as Input, and Reports of Corse use other Reports aswell.

 

I want to viusalice the dependences between those objects in a power Bi report. (I don't want to use lineage view in service)

 

Is it possible to convert a table into a chart shwoing the dependences between Flows.

Table looks like this

ObjectInput
Flow1SourceSystem
Flow2SourceSystem
Flow3SourceSystem

Flow4

Flow1

Flow4

Flow2

Report1

Hi  @LuITS ,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

@Deku ,

Thanks for your prompt response

@LuITS ,

Thanks for raising this I've reviewed your requirement to visualize dependencies between Dataflows and Reportsspecifically outside of the built-in Lineage View in the Power BI Service.

Using the sample data you provided, I’ve put together a Power BI report that visualizes these dependencies using a Force-Directed Graph (a custom visual available in AppSource). The visual represents each object (e.g., Dataflow, Report, Source) as a node, with arrows showing how they’re connected such as: Which Dataflows consume other Dataflows as input,Which Reports are downstream of those Dataflows

You can use one of the force directed graph custom visuals, like network graph, network navigator, Deneb etc
