Issue showing bar chart with D3 js in Power PI

I have tried putting in the D3 js codes and styling and have added the dataset as shown in the picture below. However, the bar chart don't show in Power BI.The dataset type I am using is a text file (.txt)

enter image description here

These are the D3 js for the bar chart.

var margin = {top: 20, right: 20, bottom: 30, left: 40},
    width = pbi.width - margin.left - margin.right,   // ALTER: Changed fixed width with the 'pbi.width' variable
    height = pbi.height - margin.top - margin.bottom; // ALTER: Changed fixed height with the 'pbi.height' variable

var x = d3.scale.ordinal()
    .rangeRoundBands([0, width], 0.1, 0.2);

var y = d3.scale.linear()
    .range([height, 0]);

var svg = d3.select("#chart")
    .attr("width", width + margin.left + margin.right)
    .attr("height", height + margin.top + margin.bottom)
    .append("g")
    .attr("transform", "translate(" + margin.left + "," + margin.top + ")");

// ALTER: Replaced the d3.tsv function with the pbi variant: pbi.dsv
pbi.dsv(type, function(letters) {
    x.domain(letters.map(function(d) { return d.letter; }));
    y.domain([0, d3.max(letters, function(d) { return d.frequency; })]);

    svg.append("g")
        .attr("class", "x axis")
        .attr("transform", "translate(0," + height + ")")
        .call(d3.svg.axis().scale(x).orient("bottom"));

    svg.append("g")
        .attr("class", "y axis")
        .call(d3.svg.axis().scale(y).orient("left"));

    svg.selectAll(".bar")
        .data(letters)
        .enter()
        .append("rect")
        .style("fill", pbi.colors[0]) // First color of provided color array
        .attr("x", function(d) { return x(d.letter); })
        .attr("width", x.rangeBand())
        .attr("y", function(d) { return y(d.frequency); })
        .attr("height", function(d) { return height - y(d.frequency); });
});

function type(d) {
    d.frequency = +d.frequency;
    return d;
}
These are the CSS for the bar chart.

body {
    font: 10px sans-serif;
}

.axis path,
.axis line {
    fill: none;
    stroke: #000;
    shape-rendering: crispEdges;
}

.x.axis path {
    display: none;
}

I have tried to use the above D3 js and CSS codes, however, I don't know why does the bar chart not appear in Power BI.
