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...

A few blogs back I shared a technique using Power BI Profiler (or VS Code) to run and capture a trace over a refresh of a Power BI semantic model (the object formally known as a dataset). I’ve since received a lot of positive feedback from people saying how useful it was to visualize each … Continue reading Visualize Power BI Refresh using Semantic-link

The IBCS standard can enhance the clarity of visualizing relative performance by distilling it to its essence, and I enclose a Deneb/Vega-Lite template for such an IBCS-style visual. 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...
