Deneb: Declarative Visualization in Power BI
Deneb is a certified custom visual for Power BI that lets you create your own bespoke visuals right inside Desktop using either the Vega or Vega-Lite visualization grammars. Visuals can be prototyped and iteratively developed using their declarative JSON-based languages and this provides a ‘code-like’ experience where you are not constrained to a specific type of chart.
Whilst this methodology is more in-line with the inbuilt R & Python visuals, Deneb addresses several shortcomings with those approaches where integration or deployment are concerned - providing support for interactivity, publish to web, mobile reports and exporting to PDF - running anywhere a certified custom visual can.
In this session, we will provide a short introduction to the visual and highlight some of the key features.
