Hi There,
I am doing some R&D in PowerBI Custom visuals. For that, I want to know the is there any API or to access the data source (underlying Data) of the Dashboard?
Any possibility to get other visuals/charts details and their datasets through API or from PowerBI Desktop application
Solved! Go to Solution.
Custom Visuals can get data from a data source by using table data mapping in the capabilities.json.
Unfortunately, data will be aggregated and all of data duplicates will be summarized.
To export data we would recommend to use Export to CSV feature of Power BI.

Thanks.
Then any suggestion or solution for my #2 question,
Any possibility to get other visuals/charts details and their datasets through API or from PowerBI Desktop application
Power BI Custom Visuals API does not allow to get details other visuals.
Could you please describe why it's required?
Ignat Vilesov,

Sure Ignat.
In my research, there is a simple use case to access the dataset of other visuals/charts from the dashboard and display that datasets to users in table format.
Just I am checking the possibilities of PowerBI custom visuals and their respective APIs.
Thanks.
Such case is not supported as visuals are isolated from each other.

Yes, Ignat.
Thanks for your reply.
