How to retrieve table data from Power BI desktop into custom visual?
Hello, I've created a table with two columns named "X" and "Y" in Power BI Desktop. Each column contains integers. I also created a custom visual that I can import into Power BI Desktop. Is there a way for me to read data from the X and Y columns into my custom visual using TypeScript only or do I need some sort of external library to do so? Thanks.
I figured it out. Had to modify capabilities.json and use DataViewMappings in my visual.ts file.

First, 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.
