Earlier in 2023, the ability to customize the width and height of SVG images in the Matrix and Table Power BI core visuals was introduced, along with a New Card visual that supports SVG images.

Andrzej Leszkiewicz will demonstrate how these features can be leveraged to create advanced custom data visualizations without the need for custom Power BI visuals.

Andrzej will show how to transform a lackluster and ineffective matrix or table into a highly effective data visualization. He will cover how to embed multiple charts into a table or matrix and how to format the visualization in accordance with the International Business Communication Standards (IBCS) guidelines.

Target Audience:

Power BI report developers eager to learn how data visualizations, created in accordance with the International Business Communication Standards (IBCS), can enhance the interpretability of business reports and how to create them in Power BI using only core visuals (Table, Matrix, New Card) and DAX.

Session Level and Prerequisites:

Advanced. Intermediate to advanced understanding of DAX is advised, as the technique uses DAX to generate SVG code and utilizes calculation groups. A basic understanding of SVG images language will be useful but not necessary. You don't need to know what IBCS is.

Learning objectives:

You'll learn how IBCS guidelines can enhance the interpretability of business reports, how to create IBCS-styled charts without paying for custom visuals licenses by using only core visuals (Table, Matrix, New Card) and DAX, and how to utilize calculation groups to reduce code duplication in your IBCS-styled reports.

IBCS visualizations explained in the session:
