Integration of visio custom visuals with PBI

Hi everyone,

 

I was exploring some new features and interaction between custom visual made in visio and pbi seemed interesting.

But I have a question to ask 🙂

 

Is it possible to color different shapes (e.g. man working and monitor) on different criteria. For an example I would like to color man working based on his average grade (some kind of grade) and monitor on date manufactured. Data for monitors and men working are in different sheet in excel. Every monitor has its owner and relations are made in PBI.

The problem seems to be in field mapping because only one column can be ID, and if it is (and it is) ID of an employee I can't color monitor based on date manufacuter (color mapping is automatically applied on man working).

Also filtering doesn't work when I click on monitor (I have a table containing information about monitors in PBI model). Only way to filter is to click on man working -  then I get filtered info containing infomation only about his monitor.

 

If you have additional questions or something isn't explained well. Feel free to ask.

 

Thank you in advance.

Cheers!
