publish to web does not currently support python visuals

[jmarcrum]

Hi everyone -

I ran into this error earlier today trying to publsih a python visual to web.  Does anyone know what's going on here?  I saw this article in a recent release and thought this should have been taken care of by now?  If not, is there a wordaround for this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @jmarcrum ,

The articlce you have referred is related with publishing from power bi desktop to power bi service that support Python visuals intead of publishing to web from power bi service. Please refer the difference between them:

1. Publish from power bi desktop 
2. Publish to web 

As your posted picture shows, the Python visual and the R script viusal are not supported in publishing to web currently. Perhaps you can submit the requirement to ideas to help us improve power bi and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas

Don't use Python visuals?

Why was it necessary to use a Python visual? Is there no other visual either default or in the App store that could be used?

Hi Greg, there isn’t a visual that will find the shortest path between two nodes in a network chart (to my knowledge). Python’s networkX library will do it. I posted about it in another post that Tom Marten and yourself commented on.

If you know of a visual in the App Store that will find the shortest path or a way for me to format my data source that will allow for that kind of visual, I would like to know what it is.

If I can provide you a csv dump that will show team 1 and team 2 and the shortest path (in an array), could you do it? If you don’t respond back to this I understand. Just wanted to answer your question fully.

Thank you!

Sure, I'll take a crack at it @Anonymous . It sounds similar to a Transitive Closure issue. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Transitive-Closure/td-p/783828 I bet there is a way to do it.

That would be fantastic Greg!  I have a couple of days left to figure out a solution, if you have the time.  Below is a link to the csv file.  It's very simple.  Team1, Team2 (Opponent), and the shortest path between the two.

Thank you in advance!

Seems like this is missing some critical information or I am not understanding the data correctly. Is the Path column in the data what you are trying to calculate or is that what you are trying to minimize for each pair of teams? If it is the first one, seems like I would need the data on the starting positions and divisions of the teams in the tournament, right? @jmarcrum

Ah, I attached a link to the completed file (after I ran it through networkx in python).  I think the file you are looking for is below.  It's my original file.  I apologize for the confusion.

Thanks again Greg!

@jmarcrum - Another crazy thought, can you just put the Python code for shortest path into a Query Step? Then you wouldn't need to use a Python visualization.

Great, another question @jmarcrum why all the duplicate rows?
