How To Do Distribution in Power BI

‍

‍

Creating a distribution visual in Power BI helps you understand how your data is spread. Here’s how to do it:

‍

1. Navigate to your dataset in Power BI that you want to create a distribution visualization for.
2. Click 'Edit' to enter edit mode where you can customize your distribution visualization settings.
3. Access additional formatting options by clicking the three-dot menu in the visualizations pane.
4. Select 'Get more visuals' to explore distribution chart options not included in the standard visuals.
5. Type ‘Histogram' in the search bar to find relevant visualization types for showing data distributions.
6. Choose 'Histogram Chart' from the options - it's the perfect visual for showing how your data is distributed across ranges.
7. Click 'Add' to include the histogram visualization in your Power BI report.
8. Drag the numeric field you want to analyze into the 'Values' area of the visualization pane.
9. Select your newly created histogram chart to activate the formatting options specific to distribution analysis.
10. Power BI automatically calculates the distribution by counting data points in each bin. You can adjust bin sizes in the formatting pane for more detailed analysis.
