Ribbon is a new visualization that has recently become part of the Power BI reporting platform. When is it used? If you want to show some indicators, for example sales revenue or total costs in relation to time, you will use either a Line or Column chart. If you hesitate between these two visualizations, you can use Ribbon, which represents the best of both!
Excel 2007 brought a new work environment based on ribbons. This novelty was annoyed by many experienced users (who were able to set shortcuts to the most commonly used options) and delighted new users (who saw some options they did not even suspect that existed). In order to “calm down passions,” Office programmers first added the Quick Access Toolbar and the ability to adjust the toolbar content (Office 2010).
