Microsoft EmployeeHow to retrieve table data from Power BI desktop into custom visual?
I figured it out. Had to modify capabilities.json and use DataViewMappings in my visual.ts file.
Microsoft EmployeeFirst, I would read this introduction on DataView: DataView Introduction
Also go over DataViewMappings here: DataViewMappings
Then follow this great example: Build Your Custom Visuals Power BI
I believe those three links above will set you on the right track. Good luck.
Helper III have seen first two links and didn't find them particularly helpful,
The third example though is great indeed - many thanks!
The third example got me started just fine, I was flailing around until I found that!

Not a problem. Documentation on how to retrieve table data from Power BI desktop is very sparse and difficult to find, to my surprise. I tried searching for books on this to no avail. Boo.
