Question 1

What do I actually receive after purchasing?

Accepted Answer

You get access to copy the Vega JSON spec directly from this page. Build the legend with the controls, then paste the spec into Ataytis Vega Studio inside Power BI Desktop. The entries travel inside the spec, so there is nothing else to set up.

Question 2

What is Ataytis Vega Studio?

Accepted Answer

Ataytis Vega Studio is our free, Microsoft-certified Power BI visual for rendering Vega specifications inside your reports. Install it once from Microsoft Marketplace in Power BI Desktop, then paste in any spec.

Question 3

Does it need any data fields?

Accepted Answer

No. The legend carries its own entries, so there is no table to build, no measure to write, and no column to assign. Drop the visual on the page and paste the spec.

Question 4

Could I not just use shapes and text boxes?

Accepted Answer

You could, and plenty of people do — that is exactly the job this replaces. The difference is what happens afterwards. A hand-built legend has to be re-aligned every time it changes, and it quietly stops matching the report when somebody moves a threshold. This one is edited in one place and pasted back.

Question 5

Does the legend update from my data?

Accepted Answer

No. The entries are fixed at the moment you copy the spec, which is what lets it work with no data model behind it. A legend that read your data would have to be driven by a field, and then it would belong to a visual again rather than to the page.

Question 6

How many entries can it hold?

Accepted Answer

Up to twenty-four rows, including group headings. Past that a legend stops being a key and starts being a document.

Question 7

What if my labels are too long for the visual?

Accepted Answer

Labels wrap in a vertical legend, and the page tells you the size the entries actually need. There is a button under the preview that sets the visual to exactly that.

Question 8

Can I match it to my report theme?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Background, border, corner radius, title, group heading and label colours are all yours to set, along with the type and marker sizes.

Question 9

Does it work in Power BI Service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It renders identically in Power BI Desktop and in the Service for any viewer on Pro or Premium Per User capacity. Custom visuals are not available in the free tier of Power BI Service.

Question 10

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, with your own entries. You may not resell or redistribute the raw JSON spec itself.
