I see big value in creating a visual that can display the results of a DAX query. One way this could be deployed is a follows. * Add the new visual to the report canvas * Write a DAX query that ret...
'@Paul, Its different because its affected by slicers in your report context. For example if you have a sales table with some dimensions like client, date, product and two numeric fileds: units and revenue. You could easily write a query to see the total units and avg price by price range, and then play with different slicers so the table will show you the distribuition of your sales for the current selection. Furthermore you could define the number of buckets for the price range in another slicer and play with detail level too. Finally if you implement this via a dynamic data layer as I sugest you could use any visual on top of your query and for example create a dynamic histogram. All this is trivial to do in Tableau and really really complicated/impossible in PBI. In my opinion distribuition visualization is the greatest weakness of this tool. Sanddance was a step in the right direction but its development seams to be stopped, so I really hope they eventually implement this idea.
