@Markzolotoy uh, you might be able to leverage "R" visuals. There is a whole lot there that I haven't explored yet. They just spun up a new gallery to showcase reports. But I'd look there for dynamically building some background, if you don't want a static image...

@Markzolotoy,

 

You could add image from the Format pane, select Plot Area> Add Image

Can I generate background chart at the runtime?

@Markzolotoy If I understand what you want by "Dynamic" you could use the "Image Viewer" - custom visual to set the background. Then, as you select different slicer options the background image would change depending on what image you have in your data set. I've used this before, and it works really well.

So, bottom line is that an image has to exist, I cannot draw a backgound at runtime, correct?
