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!

This is probably one of the best data viz youtube videos ive seen in a long time. So glad you two got together and made this vid as long as it is! I feel like it gave me a great foundation for understanding Vega and Deneb. Thank you Reid and Daniel, looking forward to sharing with my coworkers.

[@HavensConsulting]

Wow, thank you!

Daniel is my favourite guest! Amazing work thanks :)

Absolutely brilliant. This is the middle ground we all need

Found this video yesterday while investigating r/python visualisation options and trying to find out more about vegalite. This was fantastic, I actually stopped half way through and went and made a visual I've been trying to figure out for a while. Going to spend more time with it, but initial reaction is I love what vegalite does and having implementations for python, r and powerbi sounds really useful and flexible

[@cannanam]

This is really excellent! I look forward to using it in my reports.

[@VladMZ]
