(Livestream Replay) Create ANY Visual in Power BI with the HTML VizCreator - with Pascal Kiefer

ABSTRACT 📄

Every Power BI developer has come across business requirements which were impossible or difficult to achieve using the Power BI core visuals. The HTML VizCreator custom visual puts an end to this!

Learn from the creator of the visuals that even with little to no HTML knowledge, you can create all sorts of custom visualizations. The combination of DAX and HTML will give you a ton of new possibilities and can also help to improve report performance. With the HTML VizCreator visuals you can create custom KPI cards, highly complex tables, dynamic text boxes but also custom bar/column charts, any kind of infographics and many other elements.

One of the many 5-star-reviews on AppSource is titled “The Do-Everything Visual!” which is exactly right, we can really use these visuals for nearly anything. In this hands-on session, we will show how to create different elements from scratch without the need to write any HTML code.

As a bonus, we will also show how to make phone calls directly from a Power BI report.
