Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The visual is not certified by Microsoft.
Custom visuals are embedded in the report file when published from Power BI Desktop; they do not require a network connection to AppSource to render. If a visual is not rendering, first check whether the visual is certified by Microsoft, as the Power BI service administrator might have disabled the use of uncertified visuals. Option A is incorrect because the visual does not rely on a live connection to AppSource. Option B is incorrect because report themes only affect styling, not rendering. Option C is incorrect because RLS filters data but does not prevent visual rendering.
