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.

(Livestream Replay) Charticulator: Now a Power BI Custom Visual! - with Daniel Marsh-Patrick

We recently had a look at Charticulator and how we could use it to create custom visuals that we could import into Power BI. Since then, Charticulator has been made available as a custom visual, so you can create your own designs directly inside your Power BI workbook! Daniel is back to do a recap of the basic concepts, and some more examples that demonstrate how to get started.
