Question 1

What do I actually receive after purchasing?

Accepted Answer

You get access to copy the Vega JSON spec directly from this page. Paste it into Deneb inside Power BI Desktop and the visual is live — no file downloads or imports needed.

Question 2

What is Deneb?

Accepted Answer

Deneb is a free custom visual for Power BI that lets you render Vega and Vega-Lite specs inside your reports. Install it once from AppSource in Power BI Desktop, then paste in any spec.

Question 3

How do I add this to my report?

Accepted Answer

1. Add a Deneb visual to your report canvas.
2. Click Edit in the visual toolbar to open the Deneb editor.
3. Paste the JSON spec from this page into the Vega editor tab.
4. Click Apply — the visual renders instantly, no data binding needed.

Question 4

Does it need to be connected to a data source?

Accepted Answer

No. The visual is fully self-contained — it requires no data fields, measures, or connections in your report.

Question 5

Can I customise the text and colours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The spec uses clearly named signal variables near the top for text content, colours, particle size, speed and density — edit them directly in the Deneb editor or use the interactive controls on this page.

Question 6

Can I use it in Power BI Service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you publish your report to Power BI Service, the Deneb visual renders for any viewer on Pro or Premium Per User capacity. Deneb is not supported in the free tier of Power BI Service.

Question 7

Can I put multiple instances on the same page?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can add as many Deneb visuals as you like and paste the same spec into each.

Question 8

Can I use this in client reports or commercially?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once purchased, you can use the visual in any report for personal or commercial use. You may not resell or redistribute the raw JSON spec itself.
