What are Custom Visuals in Power BI?

Join My PowerBI Group.

Custom visuals in Power BI refer to visualizations that are not built-in to the standard set of charts and graphs provided by Power BI Desktop. These custom visuals are created by third-party developers or by users themselves using the Power BI custom visuals SDK. They offer additional ways to visualize data beyond what's available by default in Power BI.

Custom visuals can range from simple charts and graphs to more complex and specialized visualizations tailored to specific industries or data analysis needs. They can be downloaded and imported into Power BI Desktop from the Microsoft AppSource marketplace or from other sources.

Using custom visuals, users can enhance their Power BI reports and dashboards with unique visualizations that better suit their data visualization requirements or audience preferences. Custom visuals enable users to unlock additional insights from their data and create more engaging and impactful reports.
