4.1 Navigate the Power BI Desktop report view - Video Tutorials & Practice Problems

<v Instructor>In this sub lesson, we're gonna explore</v> the report view, explore the Visualizations pane, and explore the Fields pane. So let's go ahead and get our Power BI desktop file open that supports the sub lesson. Okay, so we have our desktop file here, L-0-4-0-1. Let's just go ahead and open it up. And wait for the Power BI desktop for a moment. Okay. So we have our desktop file open here. So the areas we're gonna focus on in this sub lesson here are the report view on the view pane here. So this is where we're going to go to build all of our reporting. The next thing we wanna point out is the canvas here. So in the middle of the screen is the reporting canvas where we're gonna build our visuals. The next area we'll take a look at here is the Filters pane. So I have the Filters pane open right here. And here's where we can add additional filters to our reports. So we'll be doing a lot of work with this through the lesson. Next to here is our Visualizations pane. This contains all of the visuals that we can go ahead and choose for our reports. So we'll go ahead and once again, do quite a bit of work with this through this lesson. Right in below the Visualizations pane, we have two key areas here. So, let's just dive in to each one of these things here, briefly here. And this one right here is what is referred to as the Fields. And this is where we're gonna bind data into our Visualizations. The one right next to it here is what is referred to as the format. And here's where we're gonna go and enable formatting our visualizations. Now, in certain circumstances, if I just go ahead and grab the Key Influences Visualization and show it. We can actually see that a third option shows up here and this is the Analytics. So here are some additional Analytics features that we can go ahead and configure for certain visualizations. So let's go ahead and get rid of that. The last here that we want to take a look at here is the Fields pane. And we've already been working with this through some of our other lessons. So this contains all the fields that are contained within tables that we can actually go ahead and use within our reports. Okay, so that's just a quick tour of the Power BI desktop and some of the key areas that we're going to be using over at the next few sub lessons.
