Hello Experts,
For my organization, I created a custom visual using Microsoft Charticulator app where I need to show Product Release and its milestones on timeline view.
I know it could be presented in other ways using default visuals but we require exactly same look and feel for our usage. So, I created this custom visual.
I completed most of it but I am stuck with couple of things mentioned below -
I was not aware of this custom visual community so earlier I posted same question on PBIUG, link mentioned below -
Power Bi custom visual using Charticulator | Power BI Exchange (pbiusergroup.com) .
I could not find the way to attach files here, you can find the attachments on the PBIUG thread mentioned above.
Please also let me know in case this is not the right community and pls redirect to correct community.
Request quick help to create this custom visuals.
Also, if it cannot be done using charticulator which other low code app could help to achieve this.
Can we export code from charticulator and use this in Deneb and just modify the code there.

Hi,
Now I manage to solve most of my issues.
- Earlier I was creating charticulator visual inside PBI desktop which is then not working properly with slicers. So, then I created this first in Charticulator App and then imported template in PBI desktop. This somehow solved the problem of alignment of slicers.
- Second I wanted an additional X axis. Now I managed to do that using additional Plot area. However, I could not manage to centre align Year X axis based on Year Month Axis which I am trying to figure out.
- Third legend showing different shape for MR and FP. This I could not solve, so I artificially created this in PBI desktop using shapes and text. As this is kind of fixed, so this works for me.
Thanks.

I was going to take a stab at this using Deneb. It's a cool visual. Glad you found a solution.
Hi @giammariam
Thanks, yes it was very interesting to learn and develop my first custom visual.
It would be still interesting to explore if Year can be centre aligned to Year/Month and if we can have shape based legend (circle and triangle) in charticulator.
Also, I would like to learn Deneb as Charticulator has limited support now from Microsoft; so if please share if you have any links to start my journey on Deneb.
@malpani, here are some of my go-to resources
There are a bunch more out there, but the resources above and the examples that they contain should keep you plenty busy.
