 Table and Matrix
visualizations
Table:

• The table is a grid that contains related

data in a logical series of rows and
columns.
• The table supports two dimensions,
and it can also contain headers and a
row for totals.

Matrix:
• A table supports two dimensions, but a
matrix makes it easier to display data
meaningfully across multiple dimensions.
• Often, report designers include matrixes in
reports and dashboards to allow users to
select one or more element (rows, columns,
cells) in the matrix to cross-highlight other
visuals on a report page.
 Bar and column charts
• The stacked format will stack the information items on top of each other.
• the following clustered column chart shows a single column with total sales for
each country.
• the stacked column chart shows data for sales by country, by product name.
• All sales data is stacked into one column to show you the total sales by country,
broken down by how much each product contributed to the overall total sales.
 Line and area charts
• The line chart and area chart visualizations are beneficial in helping you
present trends over time.
• The basic area chart is based on the line chart, with the area between axis and
line filled in. The main difference between these two chart types is that the area
chart highlights the magnitude of change over time.
 Pie Chart and Donut Chart
• The Pie chart, and donut chart, visualizations show you the relationship of
parts to the whole by dividing the data into segment
• From a data analysis perspective, these charts are not useful because interpreting
the data that they present can be difficult.
• However, these charts are often used for aesthetic reasons due to the colorful
segments that they display.
• These charts are best suited for illustrating percentages, such as the top five
sales by product or country, or any other available categories.
 Tree Map Chart
• the Treemap visualization displays data as a set of nested rectangles.
• Each level of the hierarchy is represented by a coloured rectangle (branch)
containing smaller rectangles (leaves).
• The space inside each rectangle is allocated based on the value that is being
measured.
• The rectangles are arranged in size from top left (largest) to bottom right
(smallest)..
•Large amounts of hierarchical data when
a bar chart can't effectively handle the
large number of values.
•Proportions between each part and the
whole.

•The distribution pattern of the measure

across each level of categories in the
hierarchy.

•Attributes, by using size and color

coding.
•Spot patterns, outliers, most-important
contributors, and exceptions.
 Combo Chart
Card visualization
• The card visualization displays a single value: a single data point. This type of
visualization is ideal for visualizing important statistics that you want to track on
your Power BI dashboard or report, such as total value, YTD sales, or year-over-
year change.
• The multi-row card visualization displays one or more data points, with one data
point for each row.
 Funel visualization Chart
• The funnel visualization displays a linear process that has sequential connected
stages, where items flow sequentially from one stage to the next.
• Funnel charts are most often seen in business or sales contexts. For example,
they are useful for representing a workflow, such as moving from a sales lead to a
prospect, through to a proposal and sale.

•When the data is sequential and moves through at

least four stages.
•When the number of items in the first stage is
expected to be greater than the number of items
in the final stage.
•To calculate a potential outcome (revenue, sales,
deals, and so on) by stages.
•To calculate and track conversion and retention
rates.
•To reveal bottlenecks in a linear process.
 Gauge Chart
• Gauge Chart
A radial gauge chart has a circular arc and displays a single value that measures
progress toward a goal or target..
• Radial gauges can be used to show the progress that is being made toward a goal
or target, or they can show the health of a single measure.
 Waterfall Chart
• The waterfall visualization (also known as a bridge chart) shows a running total
as values are added or subtracted, which is useful in displaying a series of
positive and negative changes. The chart consists of color-coded columns, so you
can quickly identify increases and decreases.
• The initial and the final value columns often start on the horizontal axis, while the
intermediate values are floating columns.

Waterfall charts can be used to:

•Visualize changes over time or across different
categories.
•Audit the major changes that contribute to the
total value.
•Plot your organization's annual profit by showing
various sources of revenue to help determine the
total profit (or loss).
•Illustrate the beginning and ending headcount for
your organization in a year.
•Visualize how much money you earn and spend
each month and the running balance for your
account.
 Scatter Chart
• The scatter chart visualization is effective when you are comparing large
numbers of data points without regard to time.
• The scatter chart has two value axes to show: one set of numerical data along a
horizontal axis and another set of numerical values along a vertical axis.
• The chart displays points at the intersection of an X and Y numerical value,
combining these values into single data points.
Scatter charts also allow you to:
•Show relationships between two numerical values.
•Plot two groups of numbers as one series of x and y
coordinates.
•Turn the horizontal axis into a logarithmic scale.
•Display worksheet data that includes pairs or
grouped sets of values.
•Show patterns in large sets of data, for example, by
showing linear or non-linear trends, clusters, and
outliers.
•Compare large numbers of data points without
regard to time. The more data that you include in a
scatter chart, the better the comparisons that you
can make.
 Ribbon Chart
• Ribbon charts show which data category has the highest rank (largest value).
Ribbon charts are effective at showing rank change, with the highest range
(value) always displayed on top for each time period.

them differently.
 Slicer Visualization
• The slicer visualization is a standalone chart that can be used to filter the other
visuals on the page. Slicers provide a more advanced and customized way of
filtering, in comparison to the Filters pane, which is suited to more basic filtering
operations.
Slicers are ideal to:
•Visualize commonly used or important filters on the report canvas for easier
access.
•Simplify your ability to see the current filtered state without having to open a drop-
down list.
•Filter by columns that are unneeded and hidden in the data tables.
•Create more focused reports by putting slicers next to important visuals.
 Q&A Visualization
• The Q&A visualization allows you to ask natural language questions and get
answers in the form of a visual. This ability to ask questions is valuable to
consumers and to you, the report author. This visualization type can help you
create visuals in the report, and it can also be used as a tool for consumers to get
answers quickly.
The Q&A visualization consists of the following four core
components:
•The question box, where users enter their question and
are shown suggestions to help them complete the
question.
•A pre-populated list of suggested questions.
•An icon that users can select to convert the Q&A visual
into a standard visual.
•An icon that users can select to open Q&A tooling, which
allows designers to configure the underlying natural
language engine. When entering natural language queries
with Power BI Q&A, you can specify the visual type in your
query. The following example illustrates how to
implement Net sales by country.
 R Visualization
• Visuals created with R scripts, commonly called R visuals, can present advanced
data shaping and analytics such as forecasting, using the rich analytics and
visualization power of R. R visuals can be created in Power BI Desktop and
published to the Power BI service.
