That shape is not a Power BI chart.

Options:

  • Create it in PowerPoint / Figma / SVG

  • Import it as an Image or Background

  • Or use a custom SVG visual (advanced)

Power BI does not natively draw free-form curves.

Hi @Iceberg12 ,

I hope you are doing well today 🙂❤️

 

That S-curve shape is not a native Power BI chart. Power BI does not support drawing free-form or decorative curves purely for design purposes.

Options you can use:

 

Solution 1: Create the S-curve externally (Recommended)
The S-curve shape is not a native Power BI chart. You can design it in PowerPoint, Figma, Illustrator, or as an SVG, then import it into Power BI as an image or background.

 

Solution 2: Use the image as a page or visual background
Once designed externally, set the image as:

  • Page background, or

  • Visual background
    This works well for purely decorative or design-focused S-curves.

 

Solution 3: Approximate the S-curve using a Line chart
If the curve represents data:

  1. Create cumulative or dummy data points

  2. Use a Line chart

  3. Hide axes, gridlines, and headers
    This visually mimics an S-curve while remaining data-driven.

 

Solution 4: Use SVG or Deneb custom visual (Advanced)

  • Use SVG in a table or

  • Use Deneb (Vega-Lite) for full control over curve drawing and styling
    Best for advanced customization.

 

Solution 5: Use Charticulator
Charticulator allows you to design highly customized visuals and shapes, which can then be used inside Power BI.

 

Important note:
Power BI does not natively support free-form curve drawing. All decorative S-curve designs must be created externally or simulated using data visuals.
