Multiple requests from groups that would like to see a decomposition tree. Typically they are from Proclarity/PerformancePoint world.

The Decomposition tree is now available as part of the November release of Power BI Desktop. For more info, see the blog post here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-november-2019-feature-summary/#decompTree

RE: Decomposition Tree Visualization Type

I can suggest one notion about this Idea, Make this visual as AI visual just like the key influence's visual.

RE: Decomposition Tree Visualization Type

I can summarize how it should work, it should work as well as the Performance point version when properly configured.

RE: Decomposition Tree Visualization Type

If you are interested in providing feedback on how the decomposition tree should behave in Power BI please reach out to me at juluczni@microsoft.com. I am looking to schedule some 1:1 calls (or focus groups depending on the amount of interest generated). We have lots of exciting options under consideration and would love to hear your thoughts!

RE: Decomposition Tree Visualization Type

This will really help out clients that a looking for a truly intuitive drill down feature on metrics/measures. Clients expect to be able to click on a metric and then choose the drill down path. This would really help stop clients going..."oh but in this tool I just right click and drill down based on x dimension". The visual aspects to this needs to be customisable in terms of tooltips, measures and items to display and controlling the level of drill down allowed.

RE: Decomposition Tree Visualization Type

I agree with the comments below

This is great news, but the visual needs fully interactive capabilities in order to be a real breakthrough. Without the ability to slice & dice the data, it won't be nearly as useful
and will command less user adoption

Hope it gets bumped up the list

RE: Decomposition Tree Visualization Type

YAY!!! AWESOME.
Please make it a fully active visual, with the ability to slice other visuals by clicking, have right click drill through to other pages, allow tooltips, like a native custom visual.
Don't give us the half-hearted "here's a pop up to look at, but doesn't interact with anything" that disappointed us so with the decomp. tree in Performance Point

RE: Decomposition Tree Visualization Type

I can't help believing decomposition trees are way more value than what is being prioritized. I guess not enough folks have been exposed to decomposition trees in the past to understand their value and hence other not so great features get more votes and hence priority :-(
