Beyond Click & Viz – Advanced Data Visualisation with Power BI
This workshop is designed for experienced Power BI users ready to move beyond basic visuals and explore the advanced capabilities of data storytelling and analytical design. Attendees will learn how to craft reports that are not just visually appealing but truly actionable and insightful.
The session delves into core visual design principles, the Grammar of Graphics and analytical techniques that go beyond simple counts and averages. Through hands-on exercises, participants will use SVG and Vega-Lite (via the Deneb custom visual) to create expressive visuals that extend Power BI’s default capabilities and options.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to build a variety of data visualisations — from simple to complex — to support deeper analysis and more compelling data storytelling. The techniques learned will also be applicable for other toolsets, including Fabric Notebooks.
