Hi everyone, there's a use-case I've come across that requires me to create a clustered + stacked column chart in Power BI. An important requirement is that the visuals should be interactive i.e. it should show tooltips on hovering. I searched on the marketplace. However, the only seemingly feasible custom viz there I could find was one by DEFTEAM SOLUTIONS PVT LTD. but for some reason it wasn't behaving as I expected. It's not an option for me.
Then, a lil' bit of research - I found out that the plotly library in R language allows for the interactive feature (mentioned above). But there's a caveat here too. It can render an interactive manner only when one creates a custom visualization using R language & NodeJS. I tried that using this article. However, I keep getting one error or another. This is probably a good place to mention that I have not coded in R before (ever). Even when the code was working just fine in R studio, the same code is giving me error in the custom viz I create by following the article mentioned above. [baffled]
Basically, I have 2 questions -
Any kind of help is appreciated. Do let me know if there's additional information required to grasp the whole picture. I'll try my best to share the details/data.
Thanks,
Nachiket
You can take a look at this blog post. It describes how to add an interactive javascript Plotly Chart in Power BI. Its quite easy.
