Hi is it possible to make a visualisation like that in Excel - ie with filtering? I cannot see in the data screen - any of my loaded data - the visualisations are fine. Thank you

If you want Power BI to act and feel like excel I think you're going to be disappointed however, you can use Power Query ( by clicking on transform data button) which will allow you to shape your data in an easier to use format.

      Hi Anonymous ï¼Œ

      What did you mean of " Excel data does not show in the data section"? Did you mean that you miss some data when you connect table in Excel? Or what feature did you want to get in Excel? If you want to view source data , you could try to view it like below

      If this is not what you want, please correct me and inform me more information.

      Best Regards,
      Zoe Zhi

        Hi I am not able to show you the image - but the screen where is has at the extreme left 
        relationships, then the middle icon is data, the top icon is visualisations (From the home tab)  when I click on data - it does not show the file but I can see it when I do a query.

        Why does the "data" page not show?  It usually does.

         

        Sorry I cannot make it clearer without being able to upload an image
