I decided to explore HTML visuals in Power BI over the weekend with help from Claude , and the result was this interactive sales dashboard. From dynamic KPI cards to custom-styled charts and responsive layouts, HTML opens up a whole new level of design flexibility inside Power BI. It...

@claudeai Ones you open this door. You might not want to go back building the regular charts

@claudeai The biggest (if not only) limitation of Power BI from the beginning has been lackluster visuals compared to Tableau or d3. Denab/Vega works really great for most use cases, but I am curious to try out html. How is the cross filtering experience and any performance hit?

Yea, Deneb is great. From what I’ve seen so far, cross-filtering with HTML visuals isn’t as native as standard Power BI visuals. You can simulate interactions, but it requires extra work and can feel a bit constrained depending on the implementation. On performance, for a single-page report like this, I didn’t notice any significant lag. I’d just be cautious scaling it. Heavier HTML, CSS, and JS could introduce performance trade-offs, especially with larger datasets. I see it more as a powerful enhancement layer for highly customized experiences rather than a full replacement for core visuals, at least for now.

@claudeai This looks much closer to product UI than classic BI. The interesting tradeoff is flexibility versus maintainability once teams start reusing these patterns across reports. If the HTML layer can be templatized cleanly, this could make Power BI outputs feel far less static.

@claudeai Thank you, that’s a great point.

@claudeai I’m working on coding out full beautiful reports in Claude that can take a csv data dump automatically. Instead of looking up beautiful financial dashboard im finding beautiful web ui or code snippets and then telling it to build it into a view of our data.

@claudeai That’s a really smart approach. Can’t wait to see the outcome.

@claudeai HTML visuals in Power BI turning a dashboard into a polished product? This looks excellent. The interactivity and design flexibility is on another level. Great work @Data_Chy — definitely considering HTML visuals now.

@claudeai This looks great. HTML visuals in Power BI are underrated. Most teams don't realize how much control they get once they move past the default chart options. Nice work.

If you make Power BI reports, I think you might enjoy stepping outside of Power BI to experiment with coding agents and dataviz libraries like Vega, Altair, or d3.js. Here's an example of a dashboard I made with FitBit data. While making the pbir-cli (testing starts this week, thanks to everyone who showed interest!), we learned a lot. Chiefly: we've found it's really, really hard to get an agent to work well with Power BI reports!! Power BI reports are built around abstraction and different intersecting layers. Themes, metadata, extensions, the model... all of it built for a low-code SSBI experience (clicky-clicky-draggy-droppy). That's fine for you and me (mostly). For a coding agent, though, it's inflexible... maybe even hostile. Even with the right tools and context, you simply can't get a Power BI report to reliably do _exactly_ what you want; it's just not meant for that. If you experiment a bit with Vega, Altair, or d3.js... you'll see what I mean; the contrast is pretty clear. This isn't necessarily a bad thing; unlimited flexibility may lead to inconsistency, and there's creativity in constraints. But still, I've been wanting to explore visualization without these constraints... My experiments beyond Power BI reports have been interesting and given me a lot to think about. The most promising approach so far: viz-as-code with custom embedded visuals, pulling from local or remote data sources. This stepcount dashboard is one such example... made in just a few hours between other tasks. Materializing a dashboard like this from natural language wasn't really viable a year ago. Project out another 12–18 months and it's certainly difficult to imagine what the future looks like... That said, reports and dashboards in an enterprise context aren't just visuals. Governance, distribution, integration, etc... years of individual and organizational investment. All of that makes change have a speed limit; we won't be plugging in custom embedded dashboards, overnight. But if you're curious, I do think it's a good investment to step outside Power BI and experiment. Investments you may even be turned into custom visual designs, anyway :). As Havens Consulting put it recently to me: it's time to multiclass...
