BTA Charts Documentation

Welcome to the BTA Charts documentation. BTA Charts is a library of 24 custom Power BI visuals built by Beyond The Innovation. Each visual is designed for analytical storytelling — covering scenarios that the default Power BI visual set does not handle well.

What is BTA Charts?

BTA Charts provides 24 production-ready custom visuals that you can import into any Power BI report. The visuals share a consistent design language, a common configuration model, and a decoupled rendering layer that enables them to be used outside Power BI (for example, in web applications via the @beyondtheinnovation/charts npm package).
