Basic table using Deneb

[jasemilly]

Happy new year to everyone!!

I am following How to Fix Measure totals with Deneb , by Gregg from Enterprise DNA. I have followed this tutorial the orignal blog that the video is based on vega-lite-table-using-text-marks  and another solution I found via stackover flow.

I run into the same issue with all 3 versions.  I have one row data that has all the values for each column sat on top of each other.

Value all on top of each other

I am passing 3 fields Year & Month are both dimensions and Revenue is a measure.

here is my code.

thanks for all help

Thank you, I copied the visual for each of my different tests, I went over every line so many times apart from the first one!  Don't know weather to laugh or cry ! thanks again.

@jasemilly Trust me, I've been there! Sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes!

@jasemilly I'm not sure this is the problem but you have "Step" instead of "step" in your "height" property at the top. I attached the JSON template below. It is also available on MicrosoftHatesGreg github repository. Also the original PBIX file.
