Module 01 · Getting started
Build your first chart
Drag two fields and make a bar chart in 30 seconds.
-
Step 1: From the Data pane, drag the Product field onto the canvas — Power BI makes a table.
-
Step 2: In the Visualizations pane, click the Clustered bar chart icon to switch type.
-
Step 3: Drag Revenue into the X-axis well so the bars get values.
-
Step 4: Open the Format tab (the paint roller icon in the Visualizations pane) and give the chart a clear title.
Tip: Sort the bars: click … (More options) on the visual → Sort axis → Revenue, then choose Sort descending.
