Riassunto

<p>Create stunning and complex visualizations using the amazing new default Charticulator visuals of Power BI.&nbsp;</p><p>Charticulator offers users immense power to generate visuals and graphics. To a beginner, there are myriad settings and options that can be combined in what feels like an unlimited number of combinations, giving it the unfair moniker, “the DAX of the charting world”. This is not true.</p> This book is your soup-to-nuts guide to using Charticulator, a custom visual software that Microsoft integrated into Power BI Desktop so that Power BI users can create incredibly powerful, customized charts and graphs. You will learn the concepts that underpin the software, journeying through every building block of chart design, enabling you to combine these parts to create spectacular visuals that represent the story of your data.<div><br></div><div>Unlike other custom Power BI visuals, Charticulator runs in a separate application window within Power BI with its own interface and requires a different set of interactions and associated knowledge. This book covers the ins and outs of all of them.</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>What You Will Learn</b><ul><li>Generate inspirational and technically competent visuals with no programming or other specialist technical knowledge</li><li>Create charts that are not restricted to conventional chart types such as bar, line, or pie</li><li>Limit the use of diverse Power BI custom visuals to one Charticulator custom visual</li><li>Alleviate frustrations with the limitations of default chart types in Power BI, such as being able to plot data on only one categorical axis</li><li>Use a much richer set of options to compare different sets of data</li><li>Re-use your favorite or most often used chart designs with Charticulator templates</li></ul><p></p><p><br></p><p><b>Who This Book Is For</b></p><p>The average Power BI user.

<b>Alison Box</b> is a director of Burningsuit Ltd. She also is an IT trainer and consultant with over 30 years of experience delivering computer application training to people at all skill levels, from basic users to executives and high flyers. Currently, she specializes in delivering training in Microsoft Power BI Service and Desktop, DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), and Excel. She also works with businesses as a DAX and Data Analysis consultant.&nbsp;Part of her job entails promoting Burningsuit as a knowledge base for Power BI and includes writing regular blog posts on all aspects of Power BI.&nbsp; When Charticulator was incorporated into Power BI in April of 2021, she felt there was a need for more detailed documentation that takes the learner from no knowledge to being able to design complex and challenging visuals. With this in mind, she started to write a series of blog posts but realized that the sheer weight of information regarding Charticulator has outgrown the blog post approach and writing a book would be more helpful as a means to understanding Charticulator.&nbsp; This book is the result of her own journey of discovery in learning how to use Charticulator.&nbsp;
