You are building a Power BI report that contains yearly revenue for 10 product categories from 2018 through 2023. Business users want to visualize how the rank order of each category changes from one year to the next so they can quickly spot categories whose position rises or falls over time. Which visual should you add to the report to satisfy this requirement without using any custom visuals or code?
Ribbon charts are designed to display how the ranking of categories changes across a continuous axis such as time. The width and layering of each ribbon automatically represent the measure's rank in every period, making upward or downward movements easy to see. A stacked area chart shows cumulative totals rather than rank position, a clustered column chart compares absolute values but does not indicate rank shifts, and a waterfall chart highlights incremental changes to a total, not ordinal movement between categories.
