Power BI Animated Bar Chart

An animated chart in Power BI is nothing new since you could create an animated bubble chart. But the animation of a bar chart has been something that has been circulated around the Internet in some form or another outside of Microsoft products. You can experience it from Hans Rosling's Gapminder application to the Charticulator tool. This example will use covid-19 data from the New York Times dataset that can be found at github. Though not as entertaining as Trevor Noah's skit on using Excel to Flatten the curve (just search for "Microsoft Excel: Coronavirus Edition"), this hopefully is another edu-taining way to see data.
