Why the Correlation Plot is Missing from Power BI Visuals
Question details
The user is unable to find or access the correlation plot visual in the Power BI marketplace.
- Product
- Microsoft Power BI
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Searching for the correlation plot custom visual in Power BI's 'Get more visuals' area to analyze data relationships.
- Observed behavior
- The correlation plot visual is unavailable, missing, or hidden in the Power BI AppSource marketplace.
Ensure you are logged into your Power BI Desktop or Service account with the necessary permissions to browse AppSource, and check that your internet connection is stable.
Check Visual Name, Certification, and Developer Status
Custom visuals are frequently updated, renamed, or temporarily unpublished by their developers, which can make them disappear from search results.
If a specific visual is missing from the built-in marketplace, it may have lost its certification or been rebranded by the publisher.
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Power BI Community forums (community.powerbi.com) to search for recent announcements regarding the specific correlation plot visual.
Visit Microsoft AppSource directly in your browser rather than through the Power BI Desktop client. Search for 'correlation plot' to see if the visual has been renamed or is still actively published by its developer.
Review your Power BI Desktop settings under Options > Security to ensure your client is not set to hide or block uncertified visuals.
Verify Organizational Policies with Your Administrator
Company policies and tenant settings may restrict users from adding third-party or uncertified visuals from AppSource.
Analyze Data Relationships with WPS Spreadsheet
While Power BI handles complex interactive dashboards, WPS Office provides a robust, free, and lightweight spreadsheet tool for everyday data analysis. Easily create scatter charts, calculate correlations using built-in statistical functions, and manage your datasets seamlessly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did a custom visual suddenly disappear from my existing Power BI report?
A visual may disappear or display an error if the developer unpublishes it from AppSource, if it loses its Microsoft certification while your organization blocks uncertified visuals, or if there is a temporary marketplace server issue.
How can I calculate correlation if the specific visual is unavailable?
You can use DAX functions (such as CORRELX) to mathematically calculate the correlation coefficient between two variables, or simply insert a basic Scatter Chart combined with a trend line to visually represent the relationship.
Are uncertified custom visuals safe to use in Power BI?
Uncertified visuals do not meet Microsoft's strict code requirements and do not support features like exporting to PowerPoint or email subscriptions. You should only use them if you trust the publisher and your organizational policy permits it.
