Embedded Power Bi granular UI customizations

Hello,

 

We have a requirement of embedding Power bi in a Telerik .Net application and to have everything look seamless, UI/UX team wants to use specific fonts, alignments and colors. We could only do to an extent with Power BI and that is not getting signed off by the UI/UX team. I know the limitations of powerbi. But is there a way to create visuals where we can customize everything and still use power bi and its various advantages. We are looking at tableau also as the next option ,as that offers a lot of UI control. Let us know if there are work arounds to Power bi's UI limitations. We use card charts, bar, pie ,column charts and tables.

Thanks

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Regarding the issue you raised, my solution is as follows:

1.First, you can download existing custom visuals from Microsoft AppSource. These visuals are tested and certified, and can be directly imported into your Power BI reports. There are a variety of visualization tools available here. They offer rich features that can help you achieve highly customized charts and data visualizations.

What would be the "various advantages"  of Power BI in your scenario?  Consider using your own renderer in the Telerik.net framework.  What's the data source?
