Please allow import Microsoft Visio diagram from local store or network share to the Power BI.
This is important feature when diagrams are not published in SPO or OneDrive but available inside local or network share.
Thank You

atm you can refresh data in a visio but you must then manually add/delete shapes from your diagram, would be nice to see this automated

hey -
we like to see value of a parameter too with deviation color of shapes

Would prefer actually import the Visio diagram into the Power BI file, instead of an external link to Office 365.

When I have multiple Visio diagrams linked to a Power BI report, loading/rendering them very time consuming, and sometimes it would end up fail. Also, if I am to share the Report/Dashboard with Visio diagram with others in my organization, does it mean that I need to share the Visio file as well? It could be a big problem.

When doing cross-filtering, Visio diagram will do a zoom and highlight. I want to choose if zoom happens or not. Making this as a setting.

There should be the ability to have different color thresholds/properties for each shape on a process diagram. I am trying to visualize bottlenecks in our processes with green/yellow/red. Unfortunately, there are different threshold levels for each step of the process, but the preview release won't allow for that.

Please feel free to get in contact with me as I would like to demo exactly what I have in mind.

The url for the visio diagram should be an input that can be set via a measure. This would allow the diagram to change based on filters etc. on the page.

One should be able to select multiple objects at the same time, like shift mouse click select in PowerBI slicer.

One can make tabbed Visio file, but the tabs are not shown in PowerBI. This would be very useful when you have for example several floor plans in a building.

When I try the new Visio visual in Power BI, the hex and RGB values don't seem to work. I can use the graphical color picker, but when I copy paste a hex value, nothing happens.

It would be nice to have default selection option, so that for example some measurements would be always selected, and user would have an option to select extra measurements from Visio plugin.

The colors available within Visio should match the (imported) theme so all graphs have the same look and feel.

I expect number formatting will allowed soon for the future version. Such as integer/real, numbers of decimal, currency, etc.

Auto create data to shapes like it is possible in Excel when I set up a cell as a shape. I use this to build a top view of warehouses to visualize the warehouse and project all types of movements to show the customer operational bottle necks based on actual data. Also to show what happens when we change strategies with direct results based on the same data sets. Today we create this in Excel with the problem that customers seldom have the right version and they will mess up the Excel with just 1 wrong click.

A longterm feature which the current UI couldn't support, but I'm just planting the seed...:

Multi-level Visio diagram, such that clicking on a sub-process would jump to the appropriate detailed diagram for that diagram.

Not sure how this could be handled by the UI, since 1 overview diagram would easily require 5+ sub-diagrams.

Two biggest use cases being for flowcharts and floorplans (drilling down an office's department displays the floorplan for that department).

This is a great start, would love it if we could hover over each individual Visio object to show the mapped value like with other power bi visuals

Huge potential and I think having great samples will let people get comfortable using it. A marketing pipeline with MailChimp data for example or a process flow diagram with work item data from vsts or an azure architecture (like armviz generates from a resource group) combined with ea consumption data and estimates. These seem common for the “all in” Microsoft cloud users who will be a good early adopting group to spread the word.

Like moving a Visio shape based on PBI data

Please allow PBI data to be represented as speedometer or any other databars of Visio.
