Course Introduction
Course Introduction
Visualizations are the main component of any Power BI report or dashboard. In this lesson, you'll learn about the importance of understanding how to create effective visualizations, and we'll introduce the course case study.
Creating Visualizations
Creating Visualizations
In this lesson, we'll learn the principles behind creating charts in Power BI Desktop. We'll see how charts are built up by adding fields to various wells.
Bar and Column Charts
Bar and Column Charts
Bar and column charts are found in almost every Power BI report. In this lesson, we'll look at the variants of these charts, including stacked, clustered and 100% stacked bar and column charts.
Formatting Charts
Formatting Charts
Power BI provides extensive options for formatting charts, from title and axes to data colors and labels. We'll look at the major options in this lesson.
Legends and Tooltips
Legends and Tooltips
Legends and tooltips provide more information to viewers of your charts. Legends divide a bar or line by category, while tooltips provide more information when you mouse over part of a chart.
Report Page Tooltips
Report Page Tooltips
Report page tooltips are small report pages that appear when you hover over a visualization in a report. Learn how to create these report page tooltips in this lesson.
Line and Area Charts
Line and Area Charts
Line charts and area charts are commonly used in Power BI for tracking trends, especially over time. We'll learn how to use them in this lesson.
Using Combo Charts
Using Combo Charts
Combo charts allow you to combine a bar chart and a line chart on the same visual, even if their numeric scales vary considerably. We'll see the different types of combo chart in this lesson.
Methods of Aggregation
Methods of Aggregation
When we add values to a chart, Power BI automatically aggregates the data by performing a calculation on it. We'll learn more about this process, and how to change the calculations used in this lesson.
Filtering Data with Slicers
Filtering Data with Slicers
Slicers provide a convenient interactive tool that lets your report viewers filter the data quickly. We'll learn about slicers in detail in this lesson.
Applying Filters
Applying Filters
Filters are an alternative to slicers when you want to see only a subset of your dataset. In this lesson, we'll see the different types of filter available, and learn how to decide between filters and slicers.
Filtering with Interactions
Filtering with Interactions
In Power BI, the charts on a report page are not independent of each other. You can obtain deep and detailed insights quickly using interactions. In this lesson, we'll learn how interactions work and how to edit them.
