Parallel Co-ordinates
The Parallel Co-ordinates visual is a line chart which plots values over multiple dimensions rather than over a continuous series. Each data point has its own vertical axis and can therefore plot data which have different scales and formats. The parallel coordinates chart can help to highlight patterns in datasets that may not otherwise be clear in traditional time series charts.
Calendar KPIs
The Calendar visual allows you to visualise your data on a Calendar. Displaying one calendar month at a time, each date shows the value of the selected measure on that day. KPIs can also be added to the visual so that the shading on each date indicates performance against a target. An alternative to displaying time series data on a line chart, the calendar visual allows you to see at a glance performance over a calendar month. There is also an option to flag public holidays and weekends to exclude from KPIs.
-->When creating or editing a Power BI report, you can use many different types of visuals. The icons for these visuals appear in the Visualizations pane. These visuals come pre-packaged when you download Power BI Desktop or open the Power BI service.
However, you aren't limited to this set of visuals. If you select the ellipses (..) at the bottom, another source of report visuals becomes available -custom visuals.
Developers create custom visuals using the custom visuals SDK. These visuals enable business users to see their data in a way that best fits their business. Report authors can then import the custom visual files into their reports and use them as they would any other Power BI visuals. Custom visuals are first class citizens in Power BI and can be filtered, highlighted, edited, shared, and so on.
Custom visuals are deployed in three ways:
- Custom visual files
- Organizational visuals
- Marketplace visuals
Custom visual files
Custom visuals are packages that include code for rendering the data served to them. Anyone can create a custom visual and package it as a single
.pbiviz
file, that can then be imported into a Power BI report.Warning
A custom visual could contain code with security or privacy risks. Make sure you trust the author and custom visual source before importing it to your report.
Organizational visuals
Power BI admins approve and deploy custom visuals into their organization, which report authors can easily discover, update, and use. Admins can easily manage (for example, update version, disable/enable) these visuals.
Read more about organizational visuals.
Marketplace visuals
Community members and Microsoft have both contributed their custom visuals for public benefit and published them to the AppSource marketplace. You can download these visuals add them to your Power BI reports. Microsoft has tested and approved these custom visuals for functionality and quality.
What is AppSource? It's the place you can find apps, add-ins, and extensions for your Microsoft software. AppSource connects millions of users of products like Office 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, Cortana, and Power BI, to solutions that help them get work done more efficiently, insightfully, and beautifully than before.
Certified visuals
Power BI certified visuals are marketplace visuals that have passed additional rigorous quality testing and are supported in additional scenarios, such as email subscriptions, and export to PowerPoint.To see the list of certified custom visuals or to submit your own, see Certified custom visuals.

Considerations and limitations
- A custom visual is added to a specific report when imported. If you'd like to use the visual in another report, you need to import it into that report as well. When a report with a custom visual is saved using the Save As option, a copy of the custom visual is saved with the new report.
- If you don't see a Visualizations pane, that means you don't have report edit permissions. You can only add custom visuals to reports you can edit, not to reports that have only been shared with you.
