Another option for creating custom visuals in Power BI is to leverage the open-source community visuals available on GitHub. You can find a wide range of pre-built custom visuals created by other developers. Simply download the desired visual, import it into Power BI Desktop, and start using it in your reports. This can be a great way to quickly add advanced charts or unique visuals to your Power BI reports without having to start from scratch.

To create a custom visual in Power BI, you can use the Power BI Custom Visuals SDK. This allows you to build your own visuals using tools like TypeScript, D3, and HTML. The process involves setting up a development environment, writing TypeScript code to define and render your visual, and packaging it as a PBIVIZ file for importing into Power BI Desktop. Microsoft provides detailed documentation and sample code to guide you through the process.
