Three-dimensional data visualization

[101492]

Three-dimensional data visualization in Power BI refers to the use of three-dimensional imaging techniques to display data in a three-dimensional format instead of the traditional two-dimensional format. This approach allows users to see data from a new perspective and interact with it more effectively.

When visualizing data in three dimensions, the regular data is transformed into a three-dimensional model that includes information about three dimensions: width, height, and depth. You can convert different visual elements in Power BI, such as charts, graphs, and other visualizations, into three-dimensional objects.

By leveraging three-dimensional data visualization, you can create stunning and realistic representations of data. For example, you can create a three-dimensional model of a bar chart that displays sales over time, where the width axis represents the time period, the height axis represents sales values, and the depth axis represents additional dimensions such as product categories or geographic regions.

Using three-dimensional imaging techniques, you can also interact with the data directly. You can move and rotate the three-dimensional objects, zoom in and out, and explore them from different angles. This provides a deeper and richer understanding of the data, aiding in the discovery of more insightful patterns, trends, and details

1. 3D Tree Map: Power BI allows you to create a 3D tree map, which is a hierarchical visualization that represents data using nested rectangles. Each rectangle's dimensions (width, height, and depth) represent different variables, such as sales, market share, and product categories. By using the 3D tree map, you can visually explore hierarchical data structures and analyze the relationships between different levels of the hierarchy.
2. Animated 3D Visualizations: Power BI enables you to create animated 3D visualizations to display changes over time. You can animate charts, maps, or other visual elements to showcase data dynamics and temporal patterns. For example, you can create a time-lapse animation of population growth across different cities, with the height representing population size and the depth representing time.

1. Stacked 3D Column Chart: Instead of a traditional 2D column chart, you can create a stacked 3D column chart in Power BI. This chart represents data in three dimensions, where the width and height represent different categories or variables, and the depth represents the values. For example, you can visualize sales data for different product categories over time, with the height representing sales values, the width representing the time period, and the depth representing different product categories.
2. 3D Scatter Plot: Power BI allows you to create a 3D scatter plot, which is a powerful way to visualize data with three variables. In this chart, the x, y, and z axes represent different variables, and the data points are plotted in three-dimensional space. For instance, you can plot data points representing customer satisfaction, product quality, and price on the three axes, providing a visual representation of the relationships between these variables.
3. 3D Geographic Map: Power BI offers the ability to integrate geographical data and create 3D maps. You can plot data points on a three-dimensional map, where the latitude, longitude, and elevation represent the three dimensions. This enables you to visualize data in a spatial context, such as displaying population density across different regions or visualizing earthquake data with depth information.
