Some helpful visuals to do this include histograms, box-and-whisker plots, and violin plots. There are also functionalities built into Power BI that can help us out with this. Trellising, or small multiples, allows us to divide subsets of data into separate visuals by category or attribute within a visual. Binning lets us group ranges of numeric values together to make them easier to analyze. Let's analyze your electricity generation numbers. In the line chart, we see a lot of overlapping lines. Even if we add the zoom slider to the x-axis through the formatting options, when we narrow it down, it's still hard to read because we see these spaghetti lines that overlap each other even over a narrower date range. If our visual type offers small multiples, we can add the field that we want to split it by to the small multiples field in the Visualization pane. If we add the type…
