    Hi MonikaGole,

    Custom visuals can only access data pushed to them from the data model, by the user as part of assigning fields and measures to the visual dataset. For data security reasons, they are not permitted to look at anything else in the workbook. You would need to surface any information you want to have to the data model and add to your visual as a column or measure for it to be visible.

    Regards,
