Creating Your First Visual

Swipe to show menu

This is where it gets exciting. In this chapter, you'll build your first Power BI visual: a bar chart showing Summit Gear Co.'s total sales broken down by product category. You'll also create a KPI card and experience cross-filtering for the first time, where clicking on one visual automatically updates every other visual on the page. The whole process takes less than five minutes, and it demonstrates the core Power BI workflow: load data, drag fields, and watch interactive visuals appear. It's a quick win that sets the stage for everything you'll learn in the sections ahead.

1. You click on a bar in a bar chart, and the KPI card on the same page updates to show only that category's total. What is this behavior called?

2. You want to add a second visual to your report page. Before clicking a field in the Data pane, what should you do first?
