Solved: No pbivis file on the Office Store downloads

Anonymous · ‎04-12-2017

Apologies if this is not the right place, or has been asked before... but whenever I download a visual from the Office Store, there's no pbiviz file. Just json files. What am I doing wrong...?

Zoomcharts have a few new visuals only found on the store, but I can't even use them.

Thanks

Ok well... I sorted it out. For whatever reason the files are being downloaded as ZIP. I expected the pbiviz files to be inside that, but they aren't. Turns out the ZIP file is the pbiviz file and you can just import that into PowerBi; you do not need to change the extension.

I see a few visuals are getting negative reviews because of this issue... shame.
