    Here are some complex visuals you can create in Power BI using AI features, including showing trend lines on KPI cards:

    • Decomposition Tree: AI suggests the most impactful paths to drill down through data hierarchically, helping explain variations in your metrics intuitively. Great for revenue or cost analysis with deep insights generated automatically by AI.​

    • Key Influencers Visual: Uses AI to analyze what factors drive your key metrics. It helps identify main drivers and their impact on outcomes, useful for complex decision-making.​

    • Q&A Visual: Powered by AI natural language processing, users can ask questions in plain English and get visual answers instantly. It creates simple charts dynamically based on the query.​

    • Smart KPI Cards with Trend: Power BI's KPI visual shows a key number alongside a trend line, targets, and indicators. This provides a compact overview of performance and trend analysis in one visual.​​

    • Anomaly Detection: AI identifies and highlights unusual patterns or outliers in your time series data (works with line charts), useful for spotting trends or anomalies automatically.​

    You can create any custom visuals and use AI to help generate the code but it's quite a long and iterative process. You can definitely do it and once you make your first one then it'll be alot easier to make more. 

     

    One thing to note is that when you make a visual, it doesn't mean that it'll be on the app store straight away - you need to publish it to the app store (how to link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/office-store ). If you want it to be certified then MS have a process for that aswell at this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/power-bi-custom-visuals-certified.

    If I was going to make a custom visual, I'd definitely use copilot or chatgpt and I'd tell it to initially look at the MS documentation links for building a custom connector. Would make sense to develop in VSCode and try to use Codex or Copilot in the pane, so that you can make the development quicker.

    Could use Claude aswell.
