Visualizing Data
Power BI is best known for its impressive visualization capabilities. Up to this point, the focus has been on importing data and modeling it to your specifications. The goal of this chapter is to bring that data to life through impactful visuals. The number of visuals is vast, and the aim is to provide an overview of most of the included visuals. It is impossible to do an in-depth tour of all the options; instead the focus will be on getting familiar with the basic configuration, appropriate use for each of the built-in visuals, and how to acquire custom visuals not included in Power BI by default. The topics detailed in this chapter include the following:

- Visualizing tabular data
- Visualizing categorical data
- Visualizing trend data
- Visualizing KPI data
- Visualizing data using cards
