Shares of the whole

Two common ways of demonstrating shares of a whole in Power BI are pie charts and treemaps. Pie charts are best for showing simple shares of a static total. Treemaps, meanwhile, are best for showing hierarchical, categorical data.

We will experiment in this exercise to see which of the two does best for us when looking at order quantities of product sizes purchased by a given retailer channel.

If you have lost any progress, close any open reports and reload 4_1_shares.pbix from the Exercises folder on the desktop.
