Bookmarks save the current state of the report including all filter selections, slicer values, and visual visibility settings, and can be triggered via bookmark buttons for guided storytelling.
What is the 'Key Influencers' visual in Power BI used for?
Answer: Analyzing and explaining which factors (fields) statistically drive a specific metric up or down
The Key Influencers visual uses machine learning to analyze your data and explain which fields have the most statistical influence on a selected metric.
What does 'Small Multiples' in Power BI allow you to create?
Answer: A grid of the same chart repeated for each value in a selected dimension, enabling easy comparison
Small Multiples (also called trellis or panel charts) create a grid of the same visual type, each showing a different segment, making it easy to compare trends across categories.
What is the 'Selection Pane' in Power BI Desktop used for?
