If you work in Power BI's report layer, you may already know that you can include images in some of the Power BI core visuals. Judicious usage of visuals can help enrich your tables, matrixes, and the New Card and New Slicer core visuals recently made available in public preview.

Among the image formats you can utilize are Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGs). These are not your typical images. They're high-resolution, vector-based graphics crafted from XML, which means they're not only readable by machines but also by us humans.

One of the neat things about having such a format is that you can leverage this to create dynamic images bound to your data. This includes awesome use cases like micro charts that can fit into a much smaller footprint than a dedicated visual, and with a little bit of knowledge in this area, you can greatly increase the information density of your reports without adding more visuals to the canvas.

In this session, we will examine the anatomy of SVG images and how we can use this to create dynamic charts in Power BI that you can use without any additional custom visuals from AppSource.
