    Choose the Right Chart in Power BI

    ‎01-18-2022 12:34 AM

    How to choose the right chart for your data in Power BI?

     

    Don't waste your time randomly inserting charts and hoping data will somehow magically present itself properly. Choose the right chart to convey the right message to the audience. Zebra BI Chart Selector follows the latest best practices and IBCS guidelines.

     

    Zebra BI Chart Selector presents 36 different chart types with explanations and instructions on how to create a certain chart type. Apart from commonly used charts in business reporting, it includes some extra data visualization methods, such as small multiples, combination charts, and extended charts.

     

    The taxonomy of business charts is organized based on three fundamental rules:

     

    1. Orientation: Will I display time-related data?
    2. Task: What message do I want to deliver?
    3. Shape: What type of data am I trying to visualize?

     

    In 2004 Dr. Rolf Hichert took on a challenge to standardize the way analysts and controllers present data in their reports, dashboards, and presentations. International Business Communication Standards (IBCS) were born and Zebra BI visuals were the first to get their certification.
