Testing beta versions in Developer Mode - Profitbase/PowerBI-visuals-FinancialReportingMatrix GitHub Wiki

To test it without affecting any reports in production, I would recommend that you have a copy/duplicate file of the current production file.. Then use Developer Mode in Power BI Desktop, and importing the visual from file.

Do not save the file while testing!

When you close without saving, and reopen the current report, it will revert back to the AppSource version.

Steps:

  1. Turn on Developer Mode:

  1. Then select the downloaded visual file.

Important notes:

  • If you find any bugs, or anything in your existing reports should break, please let us know in the comments or @ [email protected]
  • If anything breaks, close your report without saving, and all should be fine once you reopen the report.
  • Developer mode is a temporary setting, that will be set to OFF again once you close your report.

After successful testing: If all works as expected, and you want to continue using this version, you can upload the same visual file to Org.Store: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/organizational-visuals#add-a-visual-from-a-file
