This is a step-by-step demo of how to visualise the data in a company’s balance sheet with Power BI. We import the raw data, merge and append in the query editor, create calculated column in DAX, build the visuals using the matrix, tree-map and waterfall and slicer visual types, then format these to make them more appealing and insightful.
