How to get a CLOCK in your Power BI Report

We had a question about how to get a clock in Power BI? Is that even possible? Patrick takes advantage of the Deneb visual to make it happen!

Thanks, Patrick - that is precisely what I need. You guys are the best.

Love this! Just trying to work out why a report would need a clock, other than the important reason of because you can...

[QuantumImperfections]

This is why this channel is one of my favorite. I've literally never heard of Deneb and only heard of Vega / Vega-Lite in passing. Seeing this I'm wondering why I've never looked into it more. Inspirational and Educational.

I had avoided Deneb up to this point, but you make it look rather easy (efficient). I hope that you do more videos on Deneb and Vega. I would be looking to it.
Thank you Patrick!

Brilliant as usual, would be great to showcase some common Deneb visuals

Hi Patrick, I have worked on vega light to create some visuals n histograms, multi row cards (with better placements).. etc n it's simply awesome. You get so much options to create some intuitive visuals.

Great to see some of the simple videos you talked about. Very cool to see what you can do with deneb.

I need more Patrick. This was so cool. The use of json in deneb in powerbi blows my mind. Can you teach me more please.

[rob-french-data]

Cool! All my reports get a clock now lol

[georgecook]

Thanks for the video, Patrick. Please provide more content on this.

[elrevesyelderecho]

Yes. Would be nice to see more thing from Deneb - Vega. A video such as overview, examples, etc, ,

[elrevesyelderecho]

Nice! What is that Vega measure? Any random measure? COUNT ID Column?

[tomite]

Thank you. I am beaming from ear to ear.

[TheVentureaaron]

What! I just learned about HTML in here too. This could get interesting...

[sherwinkp]

This opens up a lot of possibilities. So much fun!

[geoffdomal]

I can see a use case for making a clock panel that shows the current times of the different time zones of your national offices. Thank you!

I used deneb to recreate some missing bar chart options that are in Excel but not in Power BI. Created a bar chart that looks like multiple cars in a drag race.

Thank you so much Patrick.. You're awesome 👍👍

Enjoying learning about Deneb, but why would anyone need a clock on their report?
