Hi,
I don’t manage to set rectangles in the glyph.
When I try to size them, it collapses…
Is there a reason please ?
Regards,
Camille L.
You will want to align the corners of the rectangles to the guide lines within the glyph. If the corners of the rectangles are green it means they are attached to a guide. If the corners are white circles, it means they are not attached. Think of the entire glyph being the full shape that will be represented on the chart. If you need additional guides within the glyph you can add them using the Guides section of the top tool bar. By adding more guides you can divide the glyph in to more segments.
Wow. If I’ve understood it right, this seems extremely promising!
Assume I could make like a card visual as well with this right and not just charts. Is that right?
Is there a way to make a chart that is a hybrid of a matrix and chart, where the chart appears in one of the columns of the matrix? I’m trying to show last 12 month trend in each line of an expense report.
What you are looking for is a sparkline. Power BI does not support this with standard visuals. There are some really amazing ones out there you can use. I suggest starting with the Sparkline by OkVIZ it is amazing: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi-visuals/WA104380910?tab=Overview
Hi,
Can be created 3D bar chart?
If yes how?
Thanks.
sorry, Charts.PowerBI.Tips can’t create 3d Charts. If you want 3d visuals I would recommend you check out this custom visual from the Microsoft App Source custom visuals gallery:
