    A tour of Power BI visualizations

    The basics on the map are items to control the visualization standpoint from a visual standpoint

    Tables are kind of lightweight reporting tools.

    The matrix is a pivot table with really good branding but no filter.

    A treemap is really good for naturally hierarchical data.

    A bar and column chart are slightly different things, there are a few small differences between the two in power bi but they are generally the same thing.

    The card is one of the most used visualizations and it's perhaps the most simple and basically, it gives you a report some sort of aggregated report of numbers.

    Slicers modify the filter context, so the information displayed changes based on what we switch on and off.

    Drilldowns allow you to advance to the next level and are compatible with area and column charts.

    Q&A visual can be kept as a Q&A on your report if you want to give others the ability to investigate, or it can be turned into a standard visual.
