Why do custom visuals need a network connection?
Try this. 1) Create a PowerBI desktop document with at least 1 custom visualization. 2) Save it. 3) Close PowerBI. 4) Turn-off your network connection. 5) Launch the previously created PowerB...
Hmm, I wonder if it is not that custom visuals necessarily require an Internet connection but that a lot of custom visuals utilize external libraries like JQuery, etc. that are perhaps referenced versus embedded in the code?
Hi dchissick
I have the same version and it is working at my end. Tested both 32-bit and 64-bit versions on Win7 and Server 12 R2 even.
Maybe someone else can help verify?
Update - the custom visuals started working (after importing again) without any explanation, other than the fact that the machine was restarted at some point. That may have solved the issue.
