(Livestream Replay) Deneb: Bringing the Vega Languages to Power BI Visuals! - with Daniel Marsh-Patrick

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 that exposes these languages and lets you bind data from your model to them. We'll spend some time exploring the tool, showing you how to get started, and creating some simple examples.

If you like the visual please leave a review on AppSource as it helps support Daniel and the development of Deneb!
