With Charticulator, an online tool from Microsoft Research, you can create your own visuals without having to code. The visuals created in Charticulator can be exported as Power BI Custom Visuals and then used in Power BI.
As an alternative to Charticulator, you can also create your own visuals using Deneb. Read our article about Deneb here.
How?
The Charticulator online tool can be accessed via https://charticulator.com/ and the first step is to upload a CSV file. A small CSV file with a few dimensions and measurement values will suffice here. The application itself isn't particularly intuitive, but fortunately there are plenty of examples (with videos) on the site that show, step by step, how to build something
Exports as a Power BI Custom Visual
Once you've finished working on something, you can export the relevant visual from Charticulator to Power BI.
Use in Power BI
Next, it's easy to import this visual from Power BI. After that, the visual can be used with any dataset.
With Charticulator, you can really go all out with the most unique and colorful visuals, but whether it’s still functional is another question.
