GUEST BIO 👤

"Don't say something cannot be done, or someone who doesn't know will come and do it.". This motto describes me very well. I would say because I am trying to find a path even on fields where paths shouldn't be. I'm the MVP of Data Platform (Power BI) and a co-founder of a company called DataBrothers, where I work as a Lead technical consultant. Primarily I am working with Microsoft Power Platform Technologies (Power BI, Flow / Automate, and PowerApps) and am the Author of the Czech PBI blog Jakna Power BI (translated "How to Power BI").

Creating a Bullet Chart Custom Visual Using Deneb for Power BI

Learn how to create an (IBCS style) Bullet Chart custom visual using the Deneb Bespoke Visual Creator, created by Daniel Marsh-Patrick. Plus see some enterprise alternatives to creating your own bullet chart when we explore the AppSource store and other pre-built custom visualizations.

DENEB’S DESCRIPTION 🔗

Vega and Vega-Lite are "visualization grammars" developed by the University of Washington Interactive Data Lab. They use a declarative, JSON-based format and this can also be used to build a range of bespoke visual designs with significantly less effort than coding from scratch. Deneb is a Power BI visual (currently in public preview) that exposes these languages and lets you bind data from your model to them.
