You are designing a report page for a manufacturing company. Users need to see how each product group contributes to total revenue at a glance, identify the largest groups quickly, and drill down to sub-groups in the same visual. Canvas space is limited, so you prefer a visual that encodes value by the size of shapes rather than by their position on an axis. Which built-in Power BI visual should you choose?
A treemap displays hierarchical data as nested rectangles sized by a measure, making it ideal for part-to-whole comparison when space is constrained. It also supports drill-down, allowing users to explore lower levels of the hierarchy in the same visual. A stacked column chart shows composition but relies on axis length and offers less efficient use of limited space. A funnel chart is designed for sequential stages, not hierarchical categories. A waterfall chart highlights changes between totals rather than proportional contribution of categories.
