How to create the S curve in Design

Hi everyone, 

Could you please share how to create the S curve in PowerBI?

 


Thank you for your help 🙂

  • 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.
