Introducing Charticulator for Power BI (PDF)

• Generate inspirational and technically competent visuals with no programming or other specialist technical knowledge
• Create charts that are not restricted to conventional chart types such as bar, line, or pie
• Limit the use of diverse Power BI custom visuals to one Charticulator custom visual
• Alleviate frustrations with the limitations of default chart types in Power BI, such as being able to plot data on only one categorical axis
• Use a much richer set of options to compare different sets of data
• Re-use your favorite or most often used chart designs with Charticulator templates

This book is for the average Power BI user. It assumes no prior knowledge on the part of the reader other than being able to open Power BI desktop, import data, and create a simple Power BI visual. User experiences may vary, from people attending a Power BI training course to those with varying skills and abilities, from SQL developers and advanced Excel users to people with limited data analysis experience and technical skills.
