What are Treemaps in Power BI ?
A TreeMap chart is a type of data visualization that displays hierarchical data in a nested, rectangular format. It is often used to represent the hierarchical structure of data and to show the proportions between different levels of the hierarchy. The TreeMap chart is particularly effective for visualizing the distribution of values across categories and subcategories.
