Show a chart comparing films when you click on each genre in a tree map

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file .

Open the Power BI report in the above folder. It contains three tables, giving films, their directors and their genres.

Create a tree map visual based on the table of genres:

The trick to getting the rectangles the same size is shown below.

The field well for the tree map should look like this:

By adding the Genre field to the Group and Values sections you ensure that each tree map rectangle is the same size.

Add a column chart showing the length of each film, and get this to be filtered when you click on a genre. Here's what you should see, for example, when you click on the Sports genre in the tree map visual:

To keep you busy, you'll need to set conditional formatting and axis titles, and make sure that the sorting is correct.

Save this report as Treemendous, then close it down.

You can unzip this file to see the answers to this exercise, although please remember this is for your personal use only.

for some reason, I can't get the column chart just to show the selected/filtered values from the treemap's selected genre.

I have tried several things and compared the solution with mine. As you can see the chart still shows the unwanted bars.

Hi! It looks like the Visual Interaction setting on the column chart is set to Highlight rather than Filter. To change it:

Select the Treemap.
From the ribbon choose Format | Edit interactions
In the top right corner of the column chart, choose to Filter

You can then choose Format | Edit interactions again to hide the selection icons.

I hope that helps!
