商品描述

Create stunning and complex visualizations using the amazing Charticulator custom visuals in Power BI.

Charticulator offers users immense power to generate visuals and graphics. To a beginner, there are myriad settings and options that can be combined in what feels like an unlimited number of combinations, giving it the unfair label, “the DAX of the charting world”. This is not true.

This book is your start-to-finish guide to using Charticulator, a custom visualization software that Microsoft integrated into Power BI Desktop so that Power BI users can create incredibly powerful, customized charts and graphs. You will learn the concepts that underpin the software, journeying through every building block of chart design, enabling you to combine these parts to create spectacular visuals that represent the story of your data.
Unlike other custom Power BI visuals, Charticulator runs in a separate application window within Power BI with its own interface and requires a different set of interactions and associated knowledge. This book covers the ins and outs of all of them.

What You Will Learn

• Generate inspirational and technically competent visuals with no programming or other specialist technical knowledge
• Create charts that are not restricted to conventional chart types such as bar, line, or pie
• Limit the use of diverse Power BI custom visuals to one Charticulator custom visual
• Alleviate frustrations with the limitations of default chart types in Power BI, such as being able to plot data on only one categorical axis
• Use a much richer set of options to compare different sets of data
• Re-use your favorite or most often used chart designs with Charticulator templates

Who This Book Is For

The average Power BI user. It assumes no prior knowledge on the part of the reader other than being able to open Power BI desktop, import data, and create a simple Power BI visual. User experiences may vary, from people attending a Power BI training course to those with varying skills and abilities, from SQL developers and advanced Excel users to people with limited data analysis experience and technical skills.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

創建令人驚豔且複雜的視覺化，使用 Power BI 中令人驚嘆的 Charticulator 自訂視覺效果。

Charticulator 為用戶提供了強大的生成視覺和圖形的能力。對於初學者來說，有無數的設置和選項可以組合，感覺像是無限的組合，這使得它被不公平地標籤為「圖表世界的 DAX」。這並不正確。

本書是您使用 Charticulator 的從頭到尾指南，這是一款 Microsoft 整合到 Power BI Desktop 的自訂視覺化軟體，讓 Power BI 用戶能夠創建極具威力的自訂圖表和圖形。您將學習支撐該軟體的概念，深入了解圖表設計的每一個構建塊，使您能夠將這些部分結合起來，創造出代表您數據故事的壯觀視覺效果。
與其他自訂 Power BI 視覺效果不同，Charticulator 在 Power BI 中以獨立的應用程式窗口運行，擁有自己的介面，並需要不同的互動方式和相關知識。本書涵蓋了所有這些的細節。

您將學到的內容

• 生成靈感和技術上合格的視覺效果，無需編程或其他專業技術知識
• 創建不受傳統圖表類型（如條形圖、折線圖或圓餅圖）限制的圖表
• 將多樣的 Power BI 自訂視覺效果限制為一個 Charticulator 自訂視覺效果
• 減輕 Power BI 中預設圖表類型的限制所帶來的挫折，例如只能在一個類別軸上繪製數據
• 使用更豐富的選項來比較不同的數據集
• 使用 Charticulator 模板重用您最喜愛或最常用的圖表設計

本書適合誰

本書適合一般的 Power BI 用戶。它假設讀者除了能夠打開 Power BI Desktop、導入數據和創建簡單的 Power BI 視覺效果外，沒有其他先前的知識。用戶的經驗可能各不相同，從參加 Power BI 培訓課程的人到具備不同技能和能力的人，包括 SQL 開發人員、高級 Excel 用戶以及有限數據分析經驗和技術技能的人。

作者簡介

Alison Box is a director of Burningsuit Ltd and an IT trainer and consultant with over 30 years of experience delivering computer applications training to people at all skill levels, from basic users to advanced technical experts. Currently, she specializes in delivering training in Microsoft Power BI Service and Desktop, Data Modeling, DAX (Data Analysis Expressions), and Excel. Alison also works with organizations as a DAX and Data Analysis consultant. Part of her job entails promoting Burningsuit as a knowledge base for Power BI and includes writing regular blog posts on all aspects of Power BI that are published on her website. When Charticulator was incorporated into Power BI in April 2021, she felt there was a need for more detailed documentation that takes the learner from no knowledge to being able to design complex and challenging visuals. With this in mind, she started to write a series of blog posts but soon realized the sheer weight of information regarding Charticulator had outgrown the blog post approach and that writing a book might be more helpful as a means to understanding Charticulator. This book is the result of her own journey of discovery in learning how to use Charticulator.
