Hi All,
I am trying to find out if scrollable Tables using Python are possible inside of Power BI. I was able to get MatPlotLab table working but it looks like no scrolling is possible. I know it should be somehow I hope.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
OK I gave up on Python to create a scrolling table it is simply not possible and adds complexity to the code. So I ended up using Power Query to create a dataset I needed then added the data from that to a table visual that supports scrolling.
I now know three ways to use Python with Power BI so it was worth the effort.
Hi All,
I am a newbe using Power BI and Python. I am wondering if I can use Python with other visualizations other than just the Py or Python visualization. I need a scrollable table visualization and MatPlotLib just does not seem the answer. I could be wrong and would love to be proven wrong.
Thanks!
I did some research and it appears you use a plotting library of some sort but there is none that supports a spreadsheet visual and th GUI components for Python do not work with Power BI. So it looks like Python has very limited use with Power BI for now.
