A Waterfall chart shows how a starting value is affected by a series of positive and negative incremental values to arrive at a final value.
What does the 'Sync Slicers' feature in Power BI allow?
Answer: Allows a slicer to control multiple report pages simultaneously
Sync Slicers lets you configure a slicer on one report page to also filter (and optionally appear on) other pages, keeping selections consistent across the report.
What is a 'Treemap' chart in Power BI best suited for?
Answer: Displaying hierarchical data as nested, proportionally sized rectangles
A Treemap displays hierarchical data as nested rectangles where the size of each rectangle is proportional to its value, making it easy to see relative proportions within categories.
What is the 'Page Navigation' button type in Power BI reports used for?
