    Just out of curiosity, I attempted to remove the visuals via the file extension trick.  With this, you change the report file extension from .pbix to .zip). Extract the zip file to a folder.  Browse to the Report --> Custom Visuals directory and remove the custom visualization that you don't need.  Zip the file back up and then rename the extension from .zip to .pbix.

     

    This works to remove the visualization from the options but still gives the custom visualization prompt to enable them.

Hi!

 

I managed to remove the custom visual warning, by opening the pbix file as an archive and editing the layout file.

 

Yu will find inside a json file describing the report structure. you need to remove the "resourcePackages" property which in my case was:

 

,"resourcePackages":[{"resourcePackage":{"name":"CardWithStatesBySQLBI1445315565700","items":[{"path":"icon.png","type":3},{"path":"CardWithStatesBySQLBI.js","type":0},{"path":"CardWithStatesBySQLBI.css","type":1}]}}]

 

And that's all... I hope this will be useful for the community.

How MS could possibe missed this as an IDE option?

 

Francisco.
