PL-900 Waterfall chart Practice Question
Which THREE are valid Power BI visualization types?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse 'Scatter map' with 'Scatter chart' or 'Map' visuals, or assume Gantt charts are native. Additionally, some candidates may overlook Waterfall chart as a valid visualization type, but it is indeed a built-in visual.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Waterfall chart
Power BI includes Waterfall, Funnel, and Treemap as built-in visualization types. Waterfall charts show the cumulative effect of sequentially introduced positive or negative values, Funnel charts illustrate stages in a linear process, and Treemaps display hierarchical data as nested rectangles. Gantt charts and Scatter maps are not native Power BI visuals.
