How to create visual elements in Power BI
Power BI Video 3: Creating Report Visuals
In this video, which is the third in an introductory series, we build on what we learned in the two videos and learn how to create visual elements in our Power BI report. Specifically we will look at data cards, bar charts and columns charts, line charts and maps. We will explore how to format these visuals as well as test out how they interact with each other. We will also take a first attempt at writing a simple DAX formula. All this will set us up nicely for the next video in this series where we will look at adding more interactivity and insights by using slicers in our Power BI report.
