Hi dunkyboy,

The error is on line 8 - you're importing an IVisualHost with no methods exposed in its typings. IIRC this is here for backwards compatibility with a previous version of the SDK, and the documentation may be slightly out of date.

If you change the line as follows to include the correct interface, it will work:

import IVisualHost = powerbi.extensibility.visual.IVisualHost;

This will now expose the correct interface to your property and the createSelectionIdBuilder() method will be available (I've tested your code with this and it works fine for me).

Good luck!

Daniel
