When diagnosing why every bar in a Power BI chart appears the same, the issue is most often linked to the underlying data structure rather than the visual itself.
Option A: 'You didn’t choose the correct graph.' While choosing an appropriate chart matters, a mismatch of chart type typically affects readability or suitability, not cause all values to display identically. If the data were properly structured, a bar chart would still show some variation; this option shifts blame to visualization choice without addressing data or modeling.
Option B: 'You are missing the labels.' Missing labels can make interpretation harder or less informative, but it does not inherently cause all values to render as identical. Even with no labels, the bars would reflect the actual values for each category, so identical bars would still suggest a data or modeling issue rather than just labeling.
Option C: 'Your data modeling is not correct.' This is the most plausible root cause. If relationships, measures, or aggregations are defined incorrectly—such as using a measure that always returns the same value, improper relationships, or incorrect normalization—the chart could display identical values across categories despite varying underlying data. This aligns with common Power BI issues where the modeling layer masks true differences in the data.
Option D: 'Your headers are not correct.' Incorrect headers can lead to misalignment or misinterpretation of fields, but they typically don’t cause all data points to collapse to the same value. The visual would still render values, albeit potentially with incorrect axis labeling or field mapping, rather than homogenizing the data.
In summary, while the other options describe plausible user errors in presentation or labeling, a non-representative, flat-through measure or misconfigured relationships in the data model is the most consistent explanation for uniform bar values across categories.
