Power BI Table Visual / Source Code

[Goofr]

Hello,

I heard that Microsoft open sources all of its visuals on GitHub, but can't seem to find them.

Is this true, where can i find them?

Thanks!

@Goofr,

For some of the custom visuals, you may find the source code at https://github.com/Microsoft?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=PowerBI-visuals&type=&language=

Hello @v-viig,

I need to make very minor tweaks to the native matrix visual. The old source code would serve my purpose. The link you shared seems to be inactive. Could you share an updated link to the old code library?

Thanks,

Aditya

Why aren't they public anymore?  Microsoft seemed to have offered the open source nature of the Power BI visualizations was one of the many advantages of Power BI.  Can we rely upon the continued support of custom visualizations going forward?

[v-viig]

Power BI Core isn't public due to difficulty with supporting that we have faced. This is the main reason why it has been made private.

Power BI Custom Visuals are our current goal for internal and extenral visuals. We're improving our tools and API along with custom visuals.

Like one of the other commenters, I have a minor tweak I need on the default Slicer. Literally just needs an option, instead of a point to point range slider, for just a single point slider with a single input so that users can scrub through or directly enter a value from a range of unique numeric values.

So much for Microsoft ♥ Opensource... Revealing their true colours once again. OpenSource isn't just about allowing other coders to make changes and submit pull requests. The OS movement started with the basic belief that users should be able to access the source code of the software they purchased for the purposes of auditing and fixing minor bugs without the intervention of the original provider. A big deal 20 years ago before the internet was fast enough to facilitate rapid software updates, but still an issue for basic stuff like this.

It would be enough for most users, I think, for the GitHub repositories to simply be publishing endpoints at the end of the development process. So long as that was stated clearly on the repositories obviously.
