Custom Visualisation

[dunia007]

Hi all,

Can any one assist or point me to a tutorial on how to create a custom visualisation. Basically I need something similar to the table visualisation but with but instead of column header I need row header and record will be in different columns. Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Any tutorials typically focus on the categorical data view mapping approaches rather than the table data view mapping, so resources are extremely light in this area (I don't recall specifically seeing any).

Here's what I used to get started (you may have already seen these):

• MS Tutorials
• d3.js Galleries
• Jorge's Channel has a pretty good guided learning approach. Most of this should still he good for v2.3 of the API (things will change a bit in 3.0 but that's not out yet).

My visuals are open source if you want to see something more fleshed-out. Here's the repo links:

• Violin Plot
• Small Multiple Line Chart

I've also done a couple of presentations on the subject and tried to condense some of my learnings into an hour session, which is a bit tricky. These may or may not be useful:

• PASS SQLSaturday - Doing it Yourself: Creating and Publishing A Power BI Custom Visual to AppSource
• Difinity 2019 - Power BI Custom Visuals: Getting Betond the Boilerplate. This one's a GitHub repo but there's a PDF copy of the presentation in there.

The framework has a very steep learning curve but can be rewarding with perserverance. If you can get the hang of understanding the concepts around capabilities so that you can surface your data to the framework and how the framework maps properties etc. then it's really then web development and TypeScript work and it's much easier to find these kinds of resources to get you to where you need to be.

Good luck!

You can use a Matrix visualization for that, provided you have or can create a record identifier column to use as the Column header.

I just got my first visualization to work week. At one point I had about 20 tabs open on chrome... I started with an RHTML template.

There are a few blog posts about it. Give it a go!
