Power BI Magic: SVG paths in Deneb and core Power BI visuals. Draw almost anything in real time!

In this video, I demonstrate an advanced technique for generating SVG paths to draw complex visual elements inside Deneb custom visuals for Power BI and inside Card (new) and Table or Matrix visuals.
The same technique can be applied to both Deneb and core visuals. In the case of Deneb, a Vega expression generates Vega paths, while in the case of core visuals, a DAX measure performs a similar job.
This unique approach opens almost unlimited data visualization possibilities. You can draw almost anything in real time. As an example I use a Chord diagram.

Pure Genius!!

Very interesting approach to this curious chart. It’s a pity that the sound is not very good, but it’s not an obstacle to understanding the explanation. Thank you!

Thanks.
Regarding the sound: I'm sorry if it's not very good, I probably shouldn't record and edit videos in the middle of the night.

@power-of-bi What could help is to create the audio stream separately. Typically a smartphone with a recording app put in front on your desk pointing to your mouth would give sufficient results. In video post production, just put this in as a separate audio layer. Works typically totally reliable and you do not need any noise cancelling / auto-ducking features in your video editing software which can also give these odd results.
Thanks for the otherwise great content!! 🙏🙏

@@businessinsights_AlexRobe Thank you! The audio is from a better microphone than any smartphone has, but I missed an issue with mic settings... I believe I've already fixed the problem. Publishing a new video today...
