Visualizing tabular data

We will see that there are many options within Power BI to visually represent data, but sometimes our users may want to see and compare detailed data and exact values. In these scenarios, using the Table or Matrix visual ends up being our best choice. When leveraging either of these two visuals, it is important to take advantage of the Format area to ensure that users can easily interpret the detailed data that is being presented. One of the best ways to bring attention to values of importance with these visuals is by using Conditional Formatting. We will explore this option, as well as take advantage of the hierarchies we created in Chapter 3, Building the Data Model, to allow for drill downs within the visuals.
