Category Custom Visual
Minor updates to both the standard and certified editions of the Power BI custom visual.
Deneb 1.6 alpha testing has finished and we're ready to move things forward.
Deneb 1.6 has a lot of new features and improvements, and the alpha builds are available for testing.
Certification has passed and this update is on its way to your reports shortly.
We're not quite live yet, but 1.4 represents the biggest update in quite some time, and hopefully there's fun to be had.
Presenting: a less permissive version of HTML Content... but with certification privileges.
As Deneb has been GA in AppSource for a year, I thought it'd be a good time to catch-up!
Deneb 1.3 is now generally available in AppSource. Here's a rundown on what's new, and what's happening next.
When Personalize Visuals is too personalized: an experiment in switching displayed charts using a dimension attribute.
An update to the initial 1.3 beta has been issued following testing feedback from users.
The 1.3. beta is available for download for validation and feedback prior to AppSource submission.
The 1.1. beta is available for download for validation and feedback prior to AppSource submission.
The Alpha Channel Build is a means of being able to test and feed back on changes as soon as they are made rather than waiting for AppSource releases.
It's been a while since we've had an update, so... here's an update.
Progress update for Jan 2021 on "Deneb", including some new changes that are moving towards improving integration with Power BI.
Improving the official HTML Content visual documentation, a little bit at a time.
"Deneb" is a prototyping effort, that will ideally bring the Vega visualisation grammar system to Power BI as a custom visual.
Farewell SMLC, hello HTML Content (and maybe something else...)

Using the flexibility of Vega events to indicate when a Play Axis will next refresh.
Using luminance of a colour can be a neat trick to help produce a suitably contrasting colour.
These are very useful plots, but they come with some tricky requirements to get the shaded areas exactly right...
