What moved between two periods, and by how much
A clustered bar chart of “2025 vs 2026” makes you compare pairs of bars by eye. Ranking who moved most needs an extra measure and a sort, changes in percentages get mixed up with percentage points, and Power BI has no bullet or slope chart.
Free to use, with no watermark and no time limit. Pro from $3 per viewer a year.
What it shows
Pick a category such as region or product, a start value (last year) and an end value (this year), and Change draws one row per category with the change written next to it with a real plus or minus sign. Rises are fjord blue and falls are ember orange, so it never relies on telling red from green. It sorts by change and bolds the biggest mover, and writes percentage points as “pp” when the measure is a percentage.
- Dumbbell: a grey dot for the start, a coloured dot for the end, joined by a line.
- Lollipop: a stick from zero to the change, when only the size of the change matters.
- Bullet (Pro): a bar for the end value on a light track, with a line for the target.
- Slope (Pro): start on the left, end on the right, one line per category, by rank or by value.
How to set it up
Add Change from AppSource or the .pbiviz file, then drag in:
- Category
- The rows, such as region or product.
- Start value
- The earlier value, such as last year.
- End value
- The later value, such as this year.
- TargetPro
- For the bullet chart. Without it, the start value is the target.
In the report
- Tooltips show both values and the change.
- Click a row to filter the rest of the report, Ctrl+click for several, right-click for the context menu.
- Arrow keys move between rows, Enter selects and Escape clears.
- It follows the report’s light or dark background, high-contrast mode, number format and language (English and Norwegian included).

Free features always work, with no key and no tag. Pro features need a licence key for Change or Everything. Without a valid key, a bullet chart is drawn as a lollipop and a slope chart as a dumbbell, with a short notice and a “Try Pro free” button. A paid key keeps Pro working for 7 days after it runs out, so a late renewal never breaks a report.
Your data stays in your report
Change makes no network calls and stores nothing outside the report. The licence key is checked inside the visual, so it also works offline, in Report Server and in locked-down tenants.
For Change alone. The entire suite is $90 per creator and $7.50 per viewer, or license the whole organisation.
