Remember, these visualizations can be added to Power BI reports, specified in Q&amp;A, and pinned to dashboards. Let us now discuss the various charts used for visualization in Power BI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Area charts: Basic (Layered) and Stacked<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-bi\/visuals\/media\/power-bi-visualization-types-for-reports-and-q-and-a\/basicareamapsmall.png\" alt=\"area charts\"\/><figcaption>Source: Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic area chart (referred to as a layered area chart.) depends on the line chart. Further, the area between axis and line is filled with colours to indicate volume. Moreover, the area charts focus on the magnitude of change over time, that can be used to draw attention to the total value across a trend. The basic area charts should be used under the following scenario &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To compare the volume trend across time series<\/li><li>For individual series representing a physically countable set<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bar and column charts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The bar charts are considered as the standard for looking at a specific value across different categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-bi\/visuals\/media\/power-bi-visualization-types-for-reports-and-q-and-a\/pbi_nancy_viz_bar.png\" alt=\"bar chart\" width=\"211\" height=\"179\"\/><figcaption>Source: Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-bi\/visuals\/media\/power-bi-visualization-types-for-reports-and-q-and-a\/pbi_nancy_viz_col.png\" alt=\"column chart\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\"><strong>Combo Charts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A Combo chart is used to combine a column chart and a line chart. You will be required to select from\u00a0the Line and Stacked Column\u00a0and\u00a0Line and Clustered Column. In Power BI, a combo chart can be referred to as a single visualization used to combine a line chart and a column chart. Thereby, combining the 2 charts into one lets you make a quicker comparison of the data. The combo charts should be used under the following scenario &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-bi\/visuals\/media\/power-bi-visualization-types-for-reports-and-q-and-a\/combosmall.png\" alt=\"combo charts\" width=\"221\" height=\"183\"\/><figcaption>Source: Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Firstly, when you have a line chart and a column chart with the same X axis.<\/li><li>Secondly, to compare multiple measures with different value ranges.<\/li><li>Then, to illustrate the correlation between two measures in one visualization.<\/li><li>Next, to check whether one measure meet the target which is defined by another measure<\/li><li>Lastly, to conserve canvas space.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Doughnut charts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-bi\/visuals\/media\/power-bi-visualization-types-for-reports-and-q-and-a\/donutsmall.png\" alt=\"doughnut chart\"\/><figcaption>Source: Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Doughnut charts are just like Pie charts. They are used to show the relationship of parts to a whole. The only difference is that the center is blank and allows space for a label or icon. Primarily, the Donut charts\u00a0are\u00a0used\u00a0to display the proportions of categorical data, with the size of each piece depicting the proportion of each category. A\u00a0doughnut<strong> <\/strong>chart\u00a0is created using a string field and a count of features, number, or rate\/ratio field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Funnel chart<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Funnels chart is used visualize a process that has stages and items flow sequentially from one stage to the next.

Also, the key influencers visual helps in understanding the factors that drive a metric.
