Description
100% Stacked Column
Chart
Categories are usually organized along the horizontal axis
and with values along the vertical axis. This compares the
percentage that each value contributes to a total across
categories.
Clustered Column Chart
Categories are usually organized along the horizontal axis
and with values along the vertical axis. This compares values
across categories.
Scatter Chart
The horizontal axis displays one numeric field and the
vertical axis displays another, which makes it easy to see the
relationship that exists between the two values for all items in
the chart. It provides a play button feature to enable viewing
how data changes over time. It is also called bubble chart.
Line Chart
It has only one value axis (called the vertical axis), and the
horizontal axis only shows evenly spaced groupings, or
categories, of data. Category data is spread evenly along a
category (horizontal) axis and distributes all numerical value
data along a value (vertical) axis.
Pie Chart
This is a circular chart divided into sectors that illustrate
numerical proportion. Pie charts can be rather sophisticated
by allowing you to drill down when you double-click on a
slice, or they can show sub-slices within the larger color
slices. It also has the ability to cross-filter a pie chart with
another chart.
Map
Map displays your data in the context of geography using
Bing map files. You can zoom as well as pan just as you
would with any other Bing map. The data is plotted using
geographical elements such as latitude and longitude.
Tiles
Tiles convert a matrix or table to present tabular data
interactively. There will be a dynamic navigation strip that
uses text or images for each tile. Clicking on a tile filters
the data.
Multiples
This creates a series of charts that have identical x and y axes
and arrange them side by side to make it easy to compare
different values at the same time. They are also called
trellis charts.
The user interface
Once you start Power View, the interface you will see will be a bit different
depending on whether you are using Power View through SharePoint or Excel.
