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.
