Charticulator no longer supported - what do I use instead?

Hi 

 

I've just received the notification below in one of my PowerBI reports where I've used Charticulator to create the visuals as it's a client's reporting format so I can't just work with PowerBI, I need the additional functionality of Charticulator. 

What do I use instead to replace these visuals? This is a quarterly report that we will need for a long time in the future.

 

Thanks

Adelaide

    You can still use it (make sure you keep a copy of the .pbiviz file)  but you could also invest some time in learning Deneb/Vega/Vega Lite. Similar value proposition, but very different philosophy (based on gg )

    Hi AJA21  as lbendlin mentioned, you can use Vega-Lite (gg stands for grammar of graphics) - here's a gallery of the visuals you can create with it to help you get started:

    I tried charticulator but couldn't figure out how to use it and then tried Vega-Lite and found it much easier to understand πŸ˜
