barcode visual in report
- 8 years ago
Hi Anonymous,
From official documents, the barcode data category is used to filter report by scanning the barcode in real world. For example, the corresponding product number of a barcode is 7290010237530, also there is a productNo field in desktop containing this value. When we scan the barcode of the real product, we can view its related report generated in desktop.
However, to display barcode format in report view, it is not yet supported now. For details, please have a look at this video.
Best regards,

That's what I thought as well and I did that both in the data view and the report view but the field still shows up as normal digits. Is it only supported by certainl visuals? I tried with a regular Table and a Card, but the same result... I'm probably doing something wrong then I guess.
Anonymous,
That's it we have to do to show bar codes.
please check if your barcode matches the formats supported by Power BI as given in the below link
