Your First Chart

Part of the Power BI Basics section of Coddy's Power BI journey. Lesson 3 of 28.

A bar chart has an axis (the field that makes the bars) and values (the field that sets their length).

Products[Category] on the axis and Sales[Quantity] in values gives one bar per category. A number field is summed: Sum of Quantity.

A bar chart lies down, a column chart stands up. Same data.
