You need to use an absolute path as d3 isn't deployed next to the analysis.

If your "analyticsRes" folder is deployed as /analyticsRes then you need to use /analyticsRes/d3/d3.js (assuming you created a d3 folder and put the file inside).

But yes, with that kind of syntax you load d3, then you have to use it and that's a different thing

I followed your blog to deploy d3 under analyticsRes., how can we refer this in Narrative View just this will work Thanks

As Joel said "analyticsRes" is the clean simple way of doing it.

An alternative is to use the D3 which is already included in your OBIEE. VA/DV uses D3 and has it (it's part of the RequireJs config), so you can also load it from there. It's probably a older version (v3, not v4) and the path is a bit weird (look at it with your browser developer extension to see all the loaded JS files when you use VA/DV).

You can also import the RequireJs from VA/DV and use that one to automatically load D3.
