Power View

Power View is used to Create Visuals by taking Dataset as Source .

Visuals - Graphical Representation of Data we call as Visuals

--------

Power BI Desktop User Interface

1. Fields Pane

Tables - Columns / Fields

Fields Pane will Contains list of Tables Loaded into Power Pivot .

All the Tables will be Sorted in alphabatical Order,

When we Expand tables we will See the Columns in the Table and the Columns
will be Sorted in alphabatical Order,

2. Visualization Pane - Visualization Pane will Contains Default Visuals


which we Mostly used in Power BI

3. Filter Pane - Filter Pane is used to Show Subset of Data in the Visuals

4. Ribbon - Ribbon will Contains Multiple Tabs and Each Tab will Contains
100 GUI Options which we used for Development of Report .

5. Multiple View

A. Report View - Create Visuals


B. Data View - Enhancing the Data Model (New Infromation -DAX)
C. Model View - Data Modeling

6. Report Canvas - Report Canvas is the palce where we will Develop the
Visual

7. Pages Section -using Pages Section Add , Rename , Duplicate, Delete


Hide the Pages

--------------------------

Visual Interactions

When we Click on any Data Point in One Visual , all Other Visuals in the
Report Page will Filter the Data because of Visual Interactions

Report - Multiple Pages


Page - Multiple Visuals

-------

Types of Interactions - 3 Types

1. Highlight Action
2. Filter Action
3. None Action

Highlight Action - Power BI will Give first Priority to Highlight Action


In Some Visuals it is not Possible to Highlight the Values then Power BI
will Give Next Priority to Filter Action .

Sometimes Clients will ask you to Change Defauult Visual Interaction


Behaviour .

Select the Source Visual - Ribbon - Format Tab - Edit Interaction

-------

Few Visuals will Support all the 3 Interation Types

1. Highlight Action
2. Filter Action
3. None Action

Few Visuals will Support Only 2 Interaction Types

2. Filter Action
3. None Action

--------------

In all the Visuals I need to Change Default Highlight Action to Filter


Action

File Menu - Options & Settings - Options - Current File - Report Seetings

Check Option - Change the Default Visual Interaction from Cross Highlight
to Cross Filter

-----------------------
-----------------------

Filters in Power View

Filters - To Show Subset of data from Complete Data we will use Filters

When Dataset Contains Complete Data and if we need to Show Subset of Data
in the Visuals we use Filters in Power View

Types of Filters in Power View - 4 Types

1. Filters on this Visual

2. Filters on this Page

3. Filters on All Pages

4. DrillThrough Filters

----------

Filters on this Visual - When ever we need to Filter the Data in Only One
Visual we will use Filters on this Visual
Filter SubTypes - 5 SubTypes

1. Basic Filtering

2. Advanced Filtering

3. Top N Filtering

4. Relative Date Filtering

5. Relative Time Filtering

On Text & Number Datatype Columns we will See 3 SubTypes

On Date Datatype Column we will See 5 SubTypes

----------

Filters on this Page - When ever we need to Filter the data in all the
Visuals of a Page we need to use Filters on this Page

---

Filters on All Pages - When ever we need to Filter the Data in All the
Pages of a Report we will use Filters on All Pages

-------

DrillThrough Filters - DrillThrough Filters is used to Pass Filter


Condition from One Page to Anaother

Using Visual Interactions we Can Filter the Data in Only One Page .
Cross Report

Default OFF

When we need to ON this Option

--

Keep All Filters

Default ON
When we need to OFF this Options

-------------------------------------------

Client will ask us to Show Subset of Data or Filtered Data in the Visuals

Sometimes we need to Filter the Data on Text Columns


Number Columns
Date Columns

Applying Filters on Number Datatype Columns

Show the Employees Whose Salaries are between 1000 & 3000
Salaries are between 1000 & 3000

Equavalent

Sal >=1000 AND Sal<=3000

If the Both the Condition are True I need to Show Records we need to go
with AND Logical Function

AND Operator

Cond 1 Cond 2 Result


True True True
True False False
False True False
False False False

If any One Condition are True I need to Show Records we need to go with OR
Logical Function

Create a Visual to 10 & 20 Deptno

OR Operator

Cond 1 Cond 2 Result


True True True
True False True
False True True
False False False
------------------

Applying Filters on Text Columns

In Power View Text Filters are not Case Sensitive

------------------

Hierarchies and Drill-Down Reports / Visual

Create a Visual to Show Category wise Sales


Create a Visual to Show Sub-Category Wise Sales
Create a Visual to Show Sub-Category Wise Sales where Category
="Technology"
Create a Visual to Show Sub-Category Wise Sales where Category
="Furniture"
Create a Visual to Show Sub-Category Wise Sales where Category ="Office
Supplies"
Create a Visual to Show Product Name wise Sales
Create a Visual to Show Product Name wise Sales where Sub-Category =
"Copiers "
Create a Visual to Show Product Name wise Sales for 17 Different Sub-
Categories
------------

Instead of Creating Above 23 Visuals if we can Create One DrillDown Visual


we can Perform Above Analysis in One Visuals

--------------

To Create a DrillDown Visual we need to Create Hierarchy .

To Create a Hierarchy we need to Have Related Dimension Columns

Related Dimension Columns

Category , Sub-Category & ProductName - ProductHierarchy


Country, State & City - GeographyHierarchy

Hierarchy - Ordered Sequence of Related Dimension Columns We call as


Hierarchy

When we Create a Visual Using hierarchy it will show first Level Data in
the Hierarchy

By Default DrillDown will not only Filter the Data in DrillDown Visual it
will even Filter all Other Visuals in the Report Page

Select the DrillDown Visual - Format Tab - Apply DrillDown Filter to -


Selected Visual

----------------

Types of Hierarchies

2 Types

1. System Defiened Hierarchies

The Hierarchies which are Created By Power BI we call as System Defiened


Hierarchies

Eg: Date Hierarchy

For Every Date Column Power BI will Create Date Hierarchy

2. User Defined Hierarchies


ProductHierarchy , GeographyHierarchy

------------------

Visualizations

To Graphically Represents the Data we use Visualizations.

 Visuals for Filtering


 Visualizing Categorical Data
 Visualizing Trend Data / Date and Time Data
 Visualizing KPI Data
 Visualizing Tabular Data
 Visualizing Geographical Data
 Leveraging Power BI Custom Visuals
