 Introduction to Various Data Visualization tools

Data visualization is the practice of translating information into a visual context, such as a map or graph, to
make data easier for the human brain to understand and pull insights from. It is the representation of
information and data through use of common graphics, such as charts, plots, infographics, and animations.
Data visualization is a powerful way for people, especially data professionals, to display data so that it can be
interpreted easily.
Data Visualization enables decision-makers of any enterprise or industry to look into analytical reports and
understand concepts that might otherwise be difficult to grasp.
Benefits of Data Visualization:
1. It is easy to understand the information with graphics
2. It made data to be represented in attractive way
3. Shows complex relationships
4. Helps to process large datasets
5. Useful for identifying trends
6. Minimizes ambiguity
Data visualization tools provide the ability to see and understand data trends, outliers, and patterns in an
easy, intuitive way. There are various data visualization tools available. One must choose the tool based on
various factors such as its ease of use, types of graphical representations the tool can produce, size of the
dataset the tool can handle etc. some of Data Visualization tools are Tableau, Power BI, Google Charts,
Jupyter, Grafana etc.
The following are some common types of data visualizations:
Table: A table is data displayed in rows and columns, which can be easily created in a Word document or
Excel spreadsheet.
Chart or graph: Information is presented in tabular form with data displayed along an x and y axis, usually
with bars, points, or lines, to represent data in comparison.
Geospatial visualization: Data is depicted in map form with shapes and colours that illustrate the
relationship between specific locations, such as a choropleth or heat map.
Dashboard: Data and visualizations are displayed, usually for business purposes, to help analysts
understand and present data.

Introduction to Tableau and Installation
Tableau is a data visualization tool that provides pictorial and graphical representations of data. It is used for
data analytics and business intelligence. Tableau provides limitless data exploration without interrupting flow
of analysis. With an intuitive drag and drop interface, user can uncover hidden insights in data and make
smarter decisions faster.

Tableau is a Business Intelligence tool for visually analyzing the data. Users can create and distribute an
interactive and shareable dashboard, which depict the trends, variations, and density of the data in the form
of graphs and charts. Tableau can connect to files, relational and Big Data sources to acquire and process data.
The software allows data blending and real-time collaboration, which makes it very unique. It is used by
businesses, academic researchers, and many government organizations for visual data analysis. It is also
positioned as a leader Business Intelligence and Analytics Platform in Gartner Magic Quadrant.
As a leading data visualization tool, Tableau has many desirable and unique features. Its powerful data
discovery and exploration application allows you to answer important questions in seconds. You can use
Tableau's drag and drop interface to visualize any data, explore different views, and even combine multiple
databases easily. It does not require any complex scripting. Anyone who understands the business problems
can address it with a visualization of the relevant data. After analysis, sharing with others is as easy as
publishing to Tableau Server.
Tableau Features
 Speed of Analysis − As it does not require high level of programming expertise, any user with access
to data can start using it to derive value from the data.
 Self-Reliant − Tableau does not need a complex software setup. The desktop version which is used
by most users is easily installed and contains all the features needed to start and complete data analysis.
 Visual Discovery − The user explores and analyzes the data by using visual tools like colors, trend
lines, charts, and graphs. There is very little script to be written as nearly everything is done by drag
and drop.
 Blend Diverse Data Sets − Tableau allows you to blend different relational, semi structured and raw
data sources in real time, without expensive up-front integration costs. The users don’t need to know
the details of how data is stored.
 Architecture Agnostic − Tableau works in all kinds of devices where data flows. Hence, the user
need not worry about specific hardware or software requirements to use Tableau.
 Real-Time Collaboration − Tableau can filter, sort, and discuss data on the fly and embed a live
dashboard in portals like SharePoint site or Salesforce. You can save your view of data and allow
colleagues to subscribe to your interactive dashboards so they see the very latest data just by refreshing
their web browser.
 Centralized Data − Tableau server provides a centralized location to manage all of the organization’s

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

6
  published data sources. You can delete, change permissions, add tags, and manage schedules
in one convenient location. It’s easy to schedule extract refreshes and manage them in the data
server. Administrators can centrally define a schedule for extracts on the server for both
incremental and full refreshes.

Working on Tableau ---Some important screen shots and steps of sheets(NotRelated to Programs )

Connecting to Data and preparing data for visualization in Tableau

Tableau supports connecting to a wide variety of data, stored in a variety of places. For example, data might
be stored on computer in a spread sheet or a text file, or in a big data, relational, or cube (multidimensional)
database on a server in enterprise or the data can be from a public domain available on the web.
Data can be imported in Tableau Public from Connect panel on left side. For example, an Excel sample data
set was loaded into Tableau as follows:

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

7
 After clicking on open, screen is as follows:

The data store page appears as above. The left pan shows that above dataset consists of 3 worksheets. If we
drag orders table, screen appears as follows: Tableau automatically identifies the data type of each column

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

8
 Now drag Returns table onto the Canvas to the right of Orders table. This shows the relation between the two
tables Orders and Returns.
If we click on the link between Orders and Returns table names at the top gives the summary of the relationship
between the tables. Now rename the data store and click on Sheet1 at the bottom left to proceed. This step
creates a data extract which improves query performance.

Data aggregation and statistical functions

We can apply various aggregation and statistical functions on data such as count, minimum, maximum,
standard deviation, variance etc. This is shown below. This can be done by right clicking on the required field
of dataset, click on Default properties and click on aggregation

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

9
 Or the above operation can be done by creating a calculated field as shown below. To create a calculated field,
click on the down arrow button beside search tab above Tables panel, drag a field to that calculated field
window.

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

10
 Then click on apply and results are shown below:

In the same way we can apply any aggregate or statistical function on data with the help of calculated fields.
Data Visualization
We can perform various visualization operations on data in Tableau. Some of them are bar cart, histogram,
bubble chart, gantt chart, scatter plot, heat map etc.
Bar chart:
Bar charts can be created in 3 variations in Tableau: Horizontal bars, stacked bars, side-by-side bars.
Horizontal bars can be created by selecting that type of chart from Show Me menu on right hand side of
Canvas. The type of chart in box on right hand side represents horizontal bar graph.

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

11
 Side-by-side bar chart can be created in following way.

Line graph: Line graph can be continuous or discrete.

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

12
 Discrete line graph is shown below:

Pie chart:

 Bubble chart:

Dashboards
Dashboard is a way of displaying various types of visual data in one place. Usually, a dashboard is intended
to convey different, but related information in an easy-to-digest form. And oftentimes, this includes things
like key performance indicators (KPI)s or other important business metrics that stakeholders need to see and
understand at a glance.
Dashboards are useful across different industries and verticals because they’re highly customizable. They can
include data of all sorts with varying date ranges to help you understand: what happened, why it happened,
what may happen, and what action should be taken.
For example, category of sales across months in a year, region is the field added. The first view is shown
below. This can be renamed at the bottom of the screen.

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

14
 Now go to 2nd sheet for creating the 2nd view. The second view is shown below. A bubble chart was drawn
between profit and subcategory. Then rename the sheet.

Next 3rd view is created as follows for profit for each subcategory in the category with averages.

After creating individual views, now a Dashboard can be created by clicking on create dashboard at the
toolbar.

after clicking on new dashboard option, the screen is shown below.

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

15
 now the sheets or views which are created earlier can be drag and dropped on this dashboard. The above three
created views are placed in the dashboard as follows. One can follow their own way of importing sheets on
the dashboard. After creating dashboard, title can be given to the dashboard from Dashboard tab. Dashboard

can be customized in terms of its appearance by the user if required. Dashboard once created can be saved on
users system and can be retrieved whenever required.

 POWER BI
What is Power BI?
Power BI is a business intelligence tool that allows you to connect to various data sources, visualize the data
in reports and dashboards, and then share them with anyone you want.
Power BI is a Data Visualization and Business Intelligence tool that converts data from different data sources
to interactive dashboards and BI reports.

What is Power BI Used For

Power BI is a tool in the category of Business Intelligence (BI). The purpose of BI is to track Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) and uncover insights in business data so as to better inform decision-making across the
organization.
Power BI is used in different ways depending on the role of the individual, from developers, analysts,
managers, and directors, to everyone in between.
How Does Power BI Compare to Other Tools Like Tableau and Excel?

Power BI and Tableau are both business intelligence tools and have a lot of overlap in terms of their
capabilities. There are 2 key differences between Power BI and Tableau:

1. Power BI only works on Windows, whereas Tableau supports both Windows and MacOS.
2. Pricing options differ between Power BI and Tableau. However, Tableau is generally the more
expensive option.
Why Power BI?

“DATA “ Analysis and Decision Making

Organizations need a tool that can help them understand the large amount of data that they are collecting.
Itis a powerful data visualization and analysis tool that allows businesses to turn raw data into actionable
insights and reports.

Microsoft Power BI comes with a free or paid version. The free version only provides Power BI tools like
Power BI Desktop and Power Q&A to dashboards. Whereas, in the Pro version they provide services like
live report sharing, Power View, and more Power BI apps.

 Program 4 :
Dashboard Design and Storytelling – Components of Dashboard, understanding how to place
worksheets in Containers, Action filters and its types.

CREATING A STORY WITH TABLEAU PUBLIC

With Tableau public, you are able to organize your data in order to tell a meaningful story. This is beneficial
when you are doing a presentation, creating an article, or uploading to a website, as it helps your audience
understand your data.
Stories are created through assembling the different worksheets and dashboards. We can highlight important
data points, add text box and pictures to help convey our story. However, there are many different ways to tell
a story. For example, one technique is called “tailoring in” where the story starts with a big picture view and
zooms in on a specific detail.
In contrast, a story can also be told by starting with a case and zooming out to that big picture view. We are
going to return to our health expenditure worksheets to create a tailoring in story and illustrate the changes in
Canada’s spending in a meaningful way.
To begin, select “New Story” at the bottom right of your screen.

Drag “Sheet 1” and “Sheet 2” on to “Drag a sheet here”. We can rename each storyboardby clicking “Add a
caption”. Rename Sheet 1 to “Provincial Health Expenditure in 2016”.

 Select the right arrow to navigate to “Provincial Health Expenditure from 1975-2018”. Hover over
the line representing Ontario and select the data point representing health expenditure during the year
2016. Then click “Update”. Your screen should look like this:

We can add a textbox to label the highlighted pointed by dragging “Drag to add text” onto the line
graph. Write a key message in the textbox, such as “Ontario had the highest health expenditure in
Canada in 2016, spending $87,195.70M”. Select “OK”.

You can the edit the text box by selecting “More options” which will open a drop-downmenu.
Expand the text box by dragging the borders in order to show the full message.

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

37
 We have now created a story with three sheets of how Ontario had the highest health expenditure
in the year 2016. If you choose to add a dashboard, it will allow your audience to play with data.
You can navigate between the story as shown below:

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

 SAVING AND PUBLISHING YOUR TABLEAU PUBLIC WORKBOOK

Once satisfied with your workbook, which includes sheets, dashboards, and stories, you can publish
it to the Tableau Public website. This is the only way to save your work whenusing Tableau Public,
so make sure to do it if you wish to return to the workbook in the future.

Once ready to publish, select the “Save to Tableau Public As…” option under the “File”tab.

CREATING A DASHBOARD WITH TABLEAU

Dashboards are a great way to combine your data visualizations and have them interact with one
another. A lot of businesses use dashboards to keep up-to-date in real time about key performance
indicators at a glance. In this example, we will combine just twoof our data visualizations, the map
and the line graph from the first section of the tutorial,but in reality, it can be used to combine many
visualizations at once.
The first step in creating your dashboard is to open up the Dashboard tab at the bottomof the screen:

After clicking this icon, your screen should open to this:

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

39
 This is your Dashboard Sheet. On the left side you can see that there is a list of the sheets you have
made from your current data source.

To build your dashboard, drag the sheet you want in to the center where it says Drop sheets here.
For our purposes, we will need to drag Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 where the map and line graph are saved.
When you drag, you will notice an area of your screen will shade over where your graph will drop
when you put it down. Organize your dashboard to look like the following:

Now to add titles to the graphs that were chosen, double click on the automatic titles generated based on
the sheet name, and a new window should appear, type in a titlethat describes the graphlike so:

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

40
 We can also add additional titles and objects to the dashboard by choosing an object from the
Objects side panel and dragging it to the dashboard. We are going to add titlesto the bottom line
graph to differentiate between the Canada line and the provinces. To do this, drag
to the area near the orange line that corresponds to the sumof all provinces
expenditure throughout the years. Type in “Canada”. Drag

once more to label the remaining provinces. Your bottom graph should look like this:

AY: 2024 – 25 Data Visualization Lab (BAIL504)

41
 Now, when you click a given line, it will be highlighted on the above map:

Congrats, now you have an interactive dashboard that is ready to be published or saved!

Question : Introducing Power BI –Components and the flow of work. Power BI Desktop
Interface-The Report has five main areas.
Solution :

Power BI includes the following components −

 Power BI Desktop − This is used to create reports and data visualizations on the dataset.
 Power BI Gateway − You can use Power BI on-premises gateway to keep your data fresh
by connecting to your on-premises data sources without the need to move the data. It
allows you to query large datasets and benefit from the existing investments.
 Power BI Mobile Apps − Using Power BI mobile apps, you can stay connected to their
data from anywhere. Power BI apps are available for Windows, iOS, and Android
platform.
 Power BI Service − This is a cloud service and is used to publish Power BI reports and
data visualizations

Flow of work
Fig 1 : The Components of Power BI

 A typical Power BI workflow involves more than one type of content.

 A Power BI designer (yellow in the diagram) collects data from semantic models, brings
it into Power BI Desktop for analysis, and creates reports full of visualizations that
highlight interesting facts and insights.
 The designer pins visualizations from reports to dashboards, and shares the reports and
dashboards with business users like you (black in the diagram).

AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB

43
 Fig 2: Flow of work

 A visualization (or visual), is a type of chart built by Power BI designers. The

visuals display the data from reports and semantic models. Because they're highly
interactive, you can slice, filter, highlight, change, and even drill into visualizations.

 A semantic model is a container of data. For example, it might be an Excel file from
the World Health Organization. It might also be a company-owned database of customers,
or it might be a Salesforce file. And it might be all three if the designer combines them
into a single model. Designers manage semantic models. The datacontained in semantic
models is used to build reports, dashboards, and apps that designers share with you.
 A dashboard is a single screen with tiles of interactive visuals, text, and graphics. A
dashboard collects your most important metrics, or a focused set of metrics, on one screen,
to tell a story or answer a question. The dashboard content comes from one or more reports
and one or more semantic models.

 A report is one or more pages of interactive visuals, text, and graphics that together
make up a single report. Power BI bases a report on a single semantic model. Often, the
designer organizes report pages to each address a central area of interest or answer a single
question.

 An app is a way for designers to bundle and share related dashboards, reports, and
semantic models together. Business users receive some apps automatically but can go
search for other apps created by colleagues or by the community. For example, out-of-
the-box apps are available for external services you may already use, like Google
Analytics and Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

 The Major Components of Power BI Desktop Interface are

Power Query Editor

It is the process of cleansing and transforming data and permits users to access datasetsconnecting
from multiple sources. It is included on the Power BI desktop. Business users may view the data
from distinct databases like MySQL, SQL servers, DB2, and many more.

Power View

It is a data visualization tool that assists users in developing stunning charts, and colourful maps,
that turn data into a story.

Power Map

It is a 3D map visualization tool to identify geospatial data on Map visuals. It helps organizations
to examine the maximum sales production geographically, visualizing the demographic
populations of specific regions.

Power Pivot
It is a Data Modelling technique that is used to create relationships between datasets. It performs
complex computations by utilizing DAX functions.

Power Q & A

When dealing with giant datasets, it becomes crucial to get to know the in-depth details of the

AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB

48
 data. Luckily, it is done through natural language where users may ask questions and obtain the
answer through Power Q & A.

Build reports :

In Power BI Desktop Report view, you can build visualizations and reports. The

Report view has six main areas:

1. The ribbon at the top, which displays common tasks associated with reports and
visualizations.
2. The canvas area in the middle, where you create and arrange visualizations.
3. The pages tab area at the bottom, which lets you select or add report pages.
4. The Filters pane, where you can filter data visualizations.
5. The Visualizations pane, where you can add, change, or customize visualizations, and
apply drill through.
6. The Format pane, where you design the report and visualizations.
7. The Fields pane, which shows the available fields in your queries. You can drag these
fields onto the canvas, the Filters pane, or the Visualizations pane to create or modify
visualizations.

4. When you select Transform data, Power Query Editor launches, with a representative
view of the table. The Query Settings pane is on the right, or you can always show it by
selecting Query Settings on the View tab of Power Query Editor.

Transforming the data

Once connected to a data source, you can adjust the data to meet your needs.

AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB

54
 To transform the data, you provide Power Query Editor with step-by-step instructions
for adjusting the data while loading and presenting it. Transforming doesn't affect the
original data source, only this particular view of the data.

Transforming the data, includes renaming columns or tables, removing rows or

columns, or changing data types.

Power Query Editor captures these steps sequentially under Applied Steps in the Query
Settings pane.

Notice that the Applied Steps in Query Settings already contain a few steps. You can
select each step to see its effect in the Power Query Editor

To Change a data type

 Select the column or columns to change.

 Hold down the Shift key to select several adjacent columns, or Ctrl to select non-
adjacent columns.
 Either right-click a column header, select Change Type,

Select Pie Chart.

 Now apply same steps for creating STACKED COLUMN CHART.

A column chart, commonly referred to as a vertical bar graph, is a visual tool utilized to
display and compare numerical data across different categories. Each column within the
chart corresponds to a specific category, with the height of the column proportionally
representing the associated value.

:
 Now apply same steps for creating MATRIX.
The matrix visual is a type of table visual that supports a stepped layout. 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.

Format the row header & column header  text color & background color
Also, format the Row grand total & column grand total

Now apply same steps for creating Stacked Bar Chart.

AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB

68
 Now apply same steps for creating Donut.

A doughnut chart is similar to a pie chart in that it shows the relationship of parts to a
whole. The only difference is that the center is blank and allows space for a label or
icon.

Doughnut charts work best when you use them to compare a particular section to the
whole, rather than comparing individual sections with each other.

Slicers: A slicer is a standalone chart that can be used to filter the other visuals on the
page. Slicers come in many different formats (category, range, date, etc.) and can be
formatted to allow selection of only one, many, or all of the available values.
AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB
69
 Slicers are a great choice to:

 Display commonly used or important filters on the report canvas for easier access.
 Make it easier 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.

AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB

70
 Program 8: Dashboards - Filters in Power BI, Formatting dashboards
Filters remove all but the data you want to focus on.

Filter Pane: You can apply filters in the Filters pane, or make selections in slicers directly on the
report page itself. The Filters pane shows the fields in individual visuals and any other filters
the report designer adds.
There are four standard types of filters that you create in the Filters pane.
 Visual filter applies to a single visual on a report page. You see visual-level filters when
you select a visual on the report canvas. Even if you can't edit a report, you can select a
visual and filter it.
 Page filter applies to all the visuals on the report page.
 Report filter applies to all pages in the report.
 Drill through filter With drill through in the Power BI service and Power BI Desktop,
you create a destination report page that focuses on a specific entity, such as a supplier.
From the other report pages, users can right-click a data point for that entity and drill
through to the focused page.


We will be using HR dataset (same used for Exp 7).
Extending same dashboard with using filters & let’s format the final dashboard.

 Program 9: BUILDING DASH BOARD

Analysis of revenue in sales dataset:

i) Create a choropleth map (fill the map) to spot the special trends to show the state which
has the highest revenue.
ii) Create a line chart to show the revenue based on the month of the year.
iii) Create a bin of size 10 for the age measure to create a new dimension to show the
revenue.
iv) Create a donut chart view to show the percentage of revenue per region by creating
zero access in the calculated field.
v) Create a butterfly chart by reversing the bar chart to compare female & male revenue
based on product category.
vi) Create a calculated field to show the average revenue per state & display profitable &
non-profitable state.
vii) Build a dashboard.
Solution:
Step1: Upload the revenue dataset

Step2: In the power query editor as part of transformation remove the unnecessary columns
(Remove the last null column)
Question 1: Create a choropleth map (fill the map) to spot the special trends to show
the state which has the highest revenue.
Step1: Select the "Map" visualization from the Visualizations pane.(filled map)
Step2: Set Up the Map:

 Drag the state field to the "Location" field well.

 Drag the revenue field to the "Size" or "Values" field well.

Step3: Customize: In the "Format" pane, adjust settings such as color, size, and tooltips to
enhance readability. You can use color gradients to indicate different revenue levels, helping to
spot trends.

AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB

74
 Question 2: Create a line chart to show the revenue based on the month of the year.
Step1: Add a Line Chart: Select the "Line chart" visualization from the Visualizations pane.
Step2: Configure the Chart:
 Drag the month field to the "Axis" field well.
 Drag the revenue field to the "Values" field well.

Step3: Format: In the "Format" pane, you can customize the line color, axis titles, and other
aspects to clearly present the revenue trend throughout the year

.
Question 3: Create a bin of size 10 for the age measure to create a new dimension to
show the revenue.
Step1: Create Bins for age

 Go to the "Data" view and select the age field.

 Right-click on the age field and choose "New group".
 In the "Group" window, select "Bin" and set the bin size to 10.

Step2: Add to Visualization:

 Create a new visualization (e.g., bar chart or column chart). Here we used Stacked column
chart. Drag the new age bins field to the "X Axis" and the revenue field to the "Y axis”.
AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB
75
 Question 4: Create a donut chart view to show the percentage of revenue per region by
creating zero access in the calculated field.
Step1: Add a Donut Chart: Select the "Donut chart" visualization from the Visualizations
pane.
Step2: Set Up the Chart:

 Drag the region field to the "Legend" field well.

 Drag the revenue field to the "Values" field well.

Step3: Create Zero Access:

 Go to the "Format" pane, select "Detail labels", and set the "Label position" to "Inside" to
create a zero access effect.
 Adjust the "Detail" and "Percentage" settings as needed.

Note: The "zero access effect" is a visual design technique often used in data visualizations to
emphasize or clearly show zero values or the absence of certain data. This effect is
particularly useful in charts where you want to highlight how values are distributed relative to
zero, or where zero plays a significant role in the interpretation of the data.

Donut Charts:

In a donut chart, the zero access effect can be used to enhance readability by placing labels or
markers at the center of the chart or using a specific design to show where there is no data.

For example, if one segment of a donut chart represents zero revenue, you might design the
AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB
76
 chart so that this segment is clearly visible or highlighted to indicate no revenue.

Question 5: Create a butterfly chart by reversing the bar chart to compare female &
male revenue based on product category.
Step1: Create a New Measure
TotalRevenue = sum(SalesTable[Revenue])
Method-1: By using stacked column chart

Method 2:
Step 1:

Add Two Bar Charts:

o Create two separate bar charts from the "Visualizations" pane.

Step 2:

Configure the First Bar Chart (e.g., Female Revenue):

Drag ProductCategory to the "Axis" field.

Drag TotalRevenue to the "Values" field.

Apply a Filter:

 In the "Filters" pane, add a filter to show only Female revenue. You can drag Gender to the
"Filters" pane and set the filter to include only Female.

Step 3:

Configure the Second Bar Chart (e.g., Male Revenue):

AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB

77
 Drag ProductCategory to the "Axis" field.

Drag TotalRevenue to the "Values" field.

Apply a Filter:

 In the "Filters" pane, add a filter to show only Male revenue. You can drag Gender to the
"Filters" pane and set the filter to include only Male.

Step 4:
Reversing the Bars:

 To create the butterfly effect, you need to reverse one of the bar charts. This involves
adjusting the direction of the bars so that they face opposite directions from the center.
o Reverse the Bars:
 For one of the charts (e.g., Male revenue), you will need to use a calculated column or
measure to make the bars extend in the opposite direction. In Power BI, this can be achieved
by adjusting the data in the chart's settings or using custom visualizations if necessary.

Add Titles and Labels:

 Add clear titles and labels to each chart to indicate what data they represent (e.g., "Female
Revenue" and "Male Revenue").
 Customize the chart's appearance to enhance readability.

Question 6: Create a calculated field to show the average revenue per state & display
profitable & non-profitable state.
Step1: Create a New Measure
 Go to the Modeling tab and select "New Measure".

AY 2024 - 2025 DATA VISUALIZATION LAB

 Extra: To get the Total value or single value

In Power BI, a Card visualization is used to display a single, important piece of data, such as
a key metric or a number. It is commonly used to show aggregate values like:
 Total Sales
 Average Profit
 Total Units Sold
 Number of Customers
The Card provides a clean and simple way to highlight critical metrics that are important for
decision-making. It's ideal for dashboard views where quick insights are needed.
To show the total revenue
Steps: 1. Select the card in the visualization pane.

2.Drag the Revenue field into the field well

To Add filter or Slicer

Filter Data: Slicers filter data across multiple charts and visuals in a report. For example,
selecting a specific region or product category in a slicer can update all connected visuals to
reflect data only for that selection.
Steps : 1. Select slicer from the Visual pane
2. Drag the Country field into the field well
