Power BI - Introduction to Python Visuals

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create your very own Python Visuals! Python is a robust language that can be used in a lot of different plotting and machine learning areas. Now is a great time to learn how to write Python code within Power BI!

I just have a question. Are data slicers working with these visualizations?

[swapnadeepghosh]

Is it possible to create a card in python visual as show data in that card dynamically ???
I mean with changing the value of the slicers, the value of the card will change too but the card along with the value should be created in python visual ???

Thank you for the demonstration! Quick question, could I output a data set from the Python script? For example, if I load the fields in the same way you did, could I then process the data and generate an tabular data out of it? Many thanks, just subscribed!

Great video, thanks!

If you add country to the filter pane or as a slicer, would the Python visual interact with the selection made in the filter?

Thanks for your useful video. Does the script editor have function or variables suggestions? Therefore we can avoid the typing mistakes. Thanks again!

Love that python is now in PBI. Please keep making python videos, really excited to get ideas on what to do with it.

THANK Your steps were the only ones that fixed my no module matplotlib and pandas error

Hey was wondering why py -m pip install pandas

Can we just write pip install pandas? What is the py -m for?

I have an error: python visuals are currently disable in your organization!!!! so, is python scripts only visible on the Microsoft cloud? and don't visible on the report server?

[gurubellimanoharsai]

could you please explain how to plot multiple charts in a single frame

[srikanthnama]

Is there a way we can have the sample data tied to it for trying the examples. Appreciate it.

[markwiggins]

Great job man - REALLY appreciate these walkthroughs - makes a big difference at work!

I am trying to uncompressed a column in a dataset using pandas and lzstring. I have used this syntax but the Python script errors with TypeError: 'function' object is not subscriptable

# 'dataset' holds the input data for this script
import pandas as pd
import lzstring as lz

df = pd.DataFrame(dataset)
df['DecompreseedAssets'] =

MigratedAssets column has data that is compressed using lzstring
Could you help please?

Can we create visuals with custom images?

[bikram]

Great video, still relevant after an year. I just had a small doubt though. Is it possible to add data labels to the plots or make them available with a mouseover action

[sudhakarsudhakar]

Power bi with python will be great compare to power bi with SQL? Please reply

[WaZabs]

Do you know if it is possible to use python visualisations in the report server?

[joshuab]

This is fantastic. Are there other visualizers other than matplotlib that you know work really well with PowerBI?

[simenandreasknudsen]

Hi, can you make the violinplot interactive like the standard one in PowerBI? I mean so you can mouse over it to get info on median, average and so on..?

Thankyou bro -- Just keen to see if you could re-establish the link to the data source?
