Course Introduction
Course Introduction
Power BI provides a wide range of visualizations, but it's not always best to include variety for its own sake. In this lesson, we'll explain why it's useful to understand the range of visualizations available in Power BI, and introduce the case study for this course.
Creating a Ribbon Chart
Creating a Ribbon Chart
The ribbon chart is a variant of the stacked column chart where each column is connected by a series of ribbons, making it useful for time series analysis. This lesson shows you how to create, format, and use a ribbon chart.
Using Treemaps and Pie Charts
Using Treemaps and Pie Charts
The treemap is often used in similar situations to the pie chart. We'll create both charts, and discuss when to use them in this lesson.
Scatter and Bubble Charts
Scatter and Bubble Charts
Scatter and bubble charts can be useful when you want to study the relationship between two or three numeric variables. We'll learn how to create them in this lesson.
Waterfall Charts
Waterfall Charts
A waterfall chart can be used to analyze the components of a larger field. In this lesson, we'll use this chart to analyze the contribution made by cities to revenue at a state level.
Creating Maps
Creating Maps
Maps provide a method of visualizing geographic data in a way that is easy for viewers to understand. In this lesson, we'll discuss the dataset considerations you show be aware of when creating maps, and create maps using the Azure Maps visualization.
Creating Cards
Creating Cards
Cards are used to display important headline values, and are found on almost every report or dashboard. In this lesson, we'll learn how to create them using the Card visualization.
Exploring Other Charts
Exploring Other Charts
In this lesson, we will introduce several visual types that are either simple to create or less commonly used. We'll look at cards, gauges, and funnel charts.
Custom Visualizations
Custom Visualizations
The range of visualizations available in Power BI can be expanded greatly through Microsoft Appsource. In this lesson, we'll use Appsource to download and use a box and whisker chart in Power BI.
Using the Decomposition Tree
Using the Decomposition Tree
The decomposition tree is an AI-powered visualization that lets you break down one variable in your dataset by multiple other variables. We'll learn how to use it in this lesson.
Visualizing Key Influencersv
Visualizing Key Influencersv
The Key Influencers visualization uses artificial intelligence to analyze which factors affect one of the variables in your data model, and how important those factors are. This lesson demonstrates how to use this visualization.
Using the Q&A Visual
Using the Q&A Visual
This lesson demonstrates the Q&A visualization, which allows you to create charts by asking questions using natural language. We'll see how to create and format visualizations using Q&A.
