Deneb/Vega-Lite can use nested facets to easily compare multiple categories of data. Whereas the small multiples available in native Power BI visuals concatenate charts in a filled grid, nested facets in Deneb/Vega-Lite use a true matrix approach and permits a “ragged-right” rendering which can ease visualization and comparison. (NOTE: I didn’t quickly find a way to implement a “ragged-right” rendering with native Power BI visuals; I’d be happy to be proven wrong.) The example presented herein...

This is a single composite visual that’s been provided with only category (product), current year (Sales CY), and previous year (Sales PY) data values. This template illustrates a number of Deneb/Vega-Lite features, including: a “title” block with title and subtitle text a “transform” block to extend the datase...
