Tree visualisation showing info about sub-categories
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if there is a visualisation on Power BI that allows me to build something similar to this (see screenshot). It is basically visualisating item category and info about their sub categories. Thanks!

Hi Anonymous
Based on your screenshot, it looks like you want to create a matrix visualization in Power BI that displays item category and subcategory information.
You can try the following:
Add the Decomposition Tree Visual to Your Report:
In your Power BI report, select the Decomposition Tree icon from the Visualizations pane to add it to your report canvas.
Configure the Visual:
Drag the field representing your main category to the Analyze bucket.
Then, drag the fields representing sub-categories or other related information into the Explain by bucket. This setup allows you to drill down into your categories and explore sub-categories in detail.
Once your visual is set up, you can start exploring your data by clicking on a category and then drilling down into its sub-categories.
The Decomposition Tree also supports AI-powered suggestions for the next dimension to drill into, which can be particularly useful for ad hoc data exploration.You can view the link below for more details:

Thanks for the prompt response. I did check the decomposition tree prior to posting here but it wasn't the visualisation that the stakeholders are after although I agree it can represent the data as needed. It's more on the aesthetics that I am after. If anyone knows of any other way around this, that would be great. Thanks everyone 🙂
