SQL On The Edge #5 - Power Bi Custom Visualizations
Welcome to SQL On The Edge #5: Power Bi Custom Visualizations with Warner Chaves.
Microsoft continues to do a big push on the cloud BI space with Power Bi. The Power Bi desktop designer is free. The mobile apps (all major mobile OS'es AND Windows Phone), free as well. The service itself also has a free fully functional tier, it's only limited by the amount of data and the enterprise sharing capabilities. Add the ease of use of the tools and the natural language query capabilities and this is now a strong tool that can finally become a contender to the Tableau and Qlikviews of the world.
No, it's not perfect but it is growing and an insane amount of new features are getting added constantly. New vendors are adding content packs and now custom visualizations have made an appearance. Not only do these immediately provide more value to every current user of Power Bi but they also serve as examples for further development of more custom visuals. Check the video for more details!
