Parallel Coordinates
For Microsoft® Power BI
The Parallel coordinates for Power BI are used to plot multivariate numerical data. The ideal scenario for this visualization is to compare many variables together and seeing the relationships between them. For example, if you had to compare an array of products with the same attributes. The ability of this custom visual isn’t to communicate the fact in the data to the users, but rather in their ability to bring some useful multivariate patterns and comparisons when used interactively for analysis.
