Importing A Custom Visual


In addition to the out-of-the-box visualizations in Power BI Desktop, hundreds of other developers have created a multitude of visuals for you to choose from. If you have a specific visual in mind, you can likely find it in the marketplace. If you can’t find it, Power BI makes it possible for you to build your own.

If you want to create your own custom visual, you can use the custom visual software development kit (SDK), which is an open-source tool based on NodeJS (JavaScript programming language) that is available on GitHub. The custom visual is packaged as a single Power BI Visual Tools (.pbiviz) file that you can import into Power BI Desktop.
