Issue with Python Visuals in Power BI Embedded (.NET Core)

Dear Team,

I am facing an issue with Power BI Embedded reports in a .NET Core application. The report contains Python visuals, which work correctly in Power BI Desktop and Service, but they do not render when the report is embedded using the Power BI Embedded API.

Details:

Environment: .NET Core application

Issue: Python visuals are not displayed in embedded reports

Expected Behavior: Python visuals should render as they do in Power BI Service

Actual Behavior: Python visuals are missing or blank in embedded view

Could you please confirm:

Is Python visual rendering supported in Power BI Embedded?

If not, what are the recommended alternatives for implementing Python-based analytics in embedded reports?

Any workaround or roadmap for enabling this feature?

Thanks,

Vinay

    Hello thanks for reaching out!

    Confirm support status

    • Python visuals are not supported in Power BI Embedded. They will not render in embedded reports.
    1. Recommended approach
      • Run your Python scripts outside Power BI (Azure Functions, Databricks, scheduled jobs).
        • Store the results in a dataset (SQL, Lakehouse, push dataset).
          • Use native Power BI visuals or certified custom visuals to display the outputs in embedded reports.
          1. Workaround option
            • Generate Python charts as static images (PNG/SVG).
              • Host them securely (e.g., Azure Blob Storage).
                • Display them in Power BI using the Image visual bound to a URL field.
                1. Roadmap
                  • There is no announced roadmap for enabling Python visuals in Embedded. Monitor Microsoft documentation and Power BI Ideas forum for updates.

    important point :
    Python visuals do not render in Power BI Embedded. The correct procedure is:

    • Precompute Python outputs externally → store results in dataset → visualize with native/custom visuals.
    • Or generate static images → embed via Image visual.
    • No roadmap yet for direct support.
