OPEN SOURCE VISUALIZATIONS

You've been stuck with the same 73 chart types in Excel for two decades. You won't have that problem in Power BI. The product is open source - developers can invent and design new visualizations. You can download the visualization and add it to your dashboard.

The URL for custom visualizations has changed frequently, so simply do a search for Power BI Custom Visualizations. You should find yourself at a gallery of free visuals that you can download. Microsoft has promised to add a new visual every week.

Here are a few of the options as of November 2016:

Figure 1024 Open Source means you don't have to wait for Microsoft to add your visualization type.

To use one of these visualizations, click on it in the browser. You will see information about the author, the release date, links to support, and a button to download the visual.

Figure 1025 When you download the visual, you will get a .PBIViz file.

Download the visual. A warning will appear that the visual does not come from Microsoft. Read the license rules and then download. A *.pbiviz file will download.

Back in Power BI, click the Elipsis near the visualization types. Browse to the PBIVIZ file you just down- loaded and import the visual.

Figure 1026 Import a custom visualization.

The visualization will appear in the list.

The author of the visualization specified that you can provide a Category and a Role DisplayName Values. While those might be unusual titles, guess that Customer goes in the top field and Revenue goes in the bottom field.

The chart will show larger circles for large customers and smaller circles for small customers.

EVERY CHART IS A SLICER FOR OTHER CHARTS

Click on the South Region column in one chart and the new Bubble chart will be filtered to show only the South region customers.

Figure 1029 Click on one chart to filter the other charts.

To turn off this behavior, go to the Format Tools tab in the Ribbon and use Edit Interactions.

A REPORT CAN HAVE MULTIPLE PAGES

Look at the bottom of the Power BI Desktop screen. You can see that you are working on Page1. Right-click the tab to rename it. Click the + tab to add a second sheet to the Report.

Figure 1030 Just like a workbook can have multiple sheets, a report can have multiple pages.

USING MAPS IN POWER BI DESKTOP

Two maps are built-in to Power BI Desktop. There is a regular map and a filled map. Use a regular map to show revenue by city. Use a filled map to show revenue by state or province.

Figure 1031 Comparing a map and a filled map.

With a regular map, use City for Location and Revenue for Size. If you add Product to the Legend, each circle will turn in to a pie chart.

For a filled map, use State for Location and Revenue for Color Saturation.

THREE TYPES OF FILTERS

The panel on the right offers filters for a single visualization, all visualizations on a page, or all visualiza- tions in a report.

WHERE IS THE TOP 10 FILTER?

Problem: All of the Power BI Desktop features are shiny, new, and cool. Why can't I find the Top 10 filter so I show only the Top 5 customers in the bubble chart?

Strategy: The top 10 is not built in! However, you can add a measure that calculates the rank of each customer using the RANKX function in DAX. You can then filter your visualization where Rank is less than or equal to five.
