We look forward to seeing you at this event.Agenda:
5:00-5:30 PM Welcome and Networking
5:30-7:00 PM Deneb: Declarative Visualization in Power BI by Daniel Marsh-Patrick
7:00-7:30 PM Wrap Up/RefreshmentsTopic: Deneb: Declarative Visualization in Power BI
Deneb is a certified custom visual for Power BI that lets you create your 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, providing 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, publishing to web and 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.Speaker: Daniel Marsh-Patrick
