Welcome to this Power BI tutorial, where we will guide you through the process of building and formatting different types of bar charts including standard, stacked, and clustered bar charts!
In this video, we will kick things off by taking a basic bar chart under the microscope. We will create it by clicking on the standard bar chart option, followed by selecting 'sales' and 'product' which will generate a neat bar chart for you.
We will also explore how to add data labels to your chart. All you need to do is look for the data labels option and give it a click! This simple step can greatly enhance the readability and comprehension of your chart.
In addition, you'll learn how to adjust the Y-axis and X-axis to suit your preferences. And if you wish to toggle off the title on each of the axes, we've got you covered.
Next, we dive into title editing. Titles are a great way to give your viewers quick insights into what your chart represents. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to change the title to 'Sales by Product' and center it to provide a cleaner look.
As we progress, we will guide you on how to replicate a chart using the handy Ctrl+C and Ctrl V functions. You will see how adding the 'Month number' gives an additional perspective to your sales data, allowing you to track sales by month.
However, you may notice that the formatting might not always be perfect. No worries, we are here to help! Just click on the three dots in the top right corner, select 'sort axis', and then 'sort by product in month' - and you're back on track!
Ever wondered how to create a stacked bar chart in Power BI? We will show you how to do it by simply adding the 'discount'. What's more, we will also teach you how to change the legend formatting from left-center to bottom center.
Finally, you'll learn how to transform your chart into a 100% stacked bar chart - offering you an exciting way to visualize your data!
With these techniques, you will be able to build simple to advanced bar charts, presenting your data in a more digestible and visually appealing way.
