Population pyramid for Power BI Pyramid Plume
The age pyramid that comes alive: drop the age, the sex and the population, press ▶ and watch generations climb year after year.
Interactive demo
The real Power BI visual, running in your browser with the sample report's fictitious data. Switch scenario, style or year: the visual updates as it does in Power BI. Premium ★ features are shown here without the watermark; in Power BI, without a license, they show “Plume Visuals · Premium preview”.
Pyramid Plume draws a real age pyramid from three fields: ages sort themselves in numeric order ("5-9" before "10-14", "100+" at the top) with no sort column, and both sides start from the center with positive values. The visual shows counts or percentages, with each side's total and share. Without a Side field, two measures face each other: butterfly or tornado chart. With premium: a year in the play axis animates the pyramid, like the animated pyramids of statistics offices; 5 or 10-year bands computed by the visual, the surplus of one sex, median and mean ages and birth years; comparison outline with another year, another area or a play axis frame, a generation followed while playing, generation markers, demographic indicators (median age, dependency ratio, ageing), hatched projections, stacked sub-categories and small multiples.
Use cases
- Demographics of a town, county, region or country, from 1975 to projections
- Age pyramid of a company's staff: retirements, women / men balance
- Members, patients, students, customers by age and sex
- Two groups face to face: managers and employees, budget and actual, before and after
FreeIncluded for free
- Age (or band), Side (sex or any two-value field), Value; or two measures face to face (butterfly, tornado)
- Ages in numeric order with no sort column ("100+", Eurostat codes); positive values on both sides
- Counts, % of the total population or % of each side; headers with totals and shares; data labels
- Age axis in the center or on one side, fixed maximum, own scale per side (two measures)
- Gridlines; neutral wording for non-age pyramids
- Cross-filtering, highlighting, tooltips, keyboard, high contrast, dynamic formats
PremiumPremium features
- Play axis: the pyramid changes year after year, animated bars and totals, fixed scale
- 2, 5, 10 or 20-year bands computed by the visual, open last band ("90+")
- Surplus of one side (hatched, with its legend), median and mean ages, birth years alongside
- Comparison outline: another year, another area, or a play axis frame (first, previous, named)
- Follow a generation: the cohort born in 1946 highlighted, climbing over the years
- Generation markers ("1946-1964 = Baby boom") and computed demographic indicators

## What the visual does
Pyramid Plume (identifier `population-pyramid`) is a Power BI custom visual (version 1.1.0.0, installed from its `.pbiviz` file; AppSource submission being prepared) that draws **population pyramids** (age pyramids) and, more generally, **butterfly / tornado charts**: two sides face to face, one row per category. Power BI Desktop has no native population pyramid (the usual workaround is a stacked bar chart with one side made negative).
**New in version 1.1.0.0 (30/10/2026):** Format pane reorganized (`ageAxis` → `catAxis`, gridlines in **Gridlines**); hatched surplus with an "Excess" key, neutral vocabulary option (non-age data), shared Gridlines card.
- **Three fields**: `age` (an age or age band, or any category), `side` (the sex or any two-value field), `value` (a measure). Without `side`, two measures in `value` face each other (butterfly chart).
- **Ages in natural numeric order with no sort column**: the visual reads the number in each label ("0-4", "5 à 9 ans", "100 ans et +", "85+", "under 5", Eurostat codes `Y_LT5`, `Y5-9`, `Y_GE85`) and sorts by itself; young at the bottom. Labels without numbers keep the model order (or are sorted by total for a tornado).
- **Positive values on both sides**: both sides start from the center with positive ticks; negative values (the usual workaround) are read as absolute values.
- **Age bands computed in the visual** ★: 2, 5, 10 or 20-year bands from single ages and an open last band ("90+"), with no calculated column.
- Counts, % of the total population or % of each side; side headers with name, total and share; ★ surplus of one side (darker shade); ★ median and mean age lines (Analytics pane); ★ birth years next to the ages.
- **Play axis ★** (`play` role, a year or date column; premium since the free / premium rebalancing of 2026-10-22): the shared Plume player (play / pause, slider, speed ×0.5 to ×4, loop, keyboard) animates bars, totals and labels year after year, with a fixed scale by default. Playback is per session, never saved in the report.
- Men stay on the left even when the data starts with women; `pyramid.swap` swaps the sides.
## Free vs premium (★)
- Every feature works without a key and nothing is ever blocked. Free features never show a watermark.
- Shared Style card (the same in every Plume visual): the styles `none`, `minimal` and `blackWhite`, the two Plume gradient palettes (`crest`, `crestDiverging`), "Follow report theme" and all custom colors are **free**; every other `style.preset`, the other gradient palettes (`style.palette`) and `style.themeJson` ("Theme JSON ★") are **premium**.
- Free in Pyramid Plume: the age / side / value fields, butterfly mode, numeric ordering, bands already in the data, counts and shares, side headers, data labels, axes, scale maximum, own scale per side, colors, cross-filtering, highlighting, tooltips.
- Premium features of Pyramid Plume:
- the `play` role ("Play axis ★": watermark as soon as the field holds data, even one year; the Playback settings themselves add nothing);
- `ages.band` = `2`, `5`, `10` or `20` and `ages.openFrom` > 0 (computed bands, on numeric ages); `pyramid.excess` = `shade` or `outline` (surplus of one side, with two sides); `catAxis.birthYears` (with a known year); `ageLines.median` and `ageLines.mean` (Analytics pane, numeric ages);
- the `compare` role ("Comparison ★") and the comparison with a frame of the play axis (`comparison.source` = `first`, `previous` or `frame`): outline, ghost bars or markers;
- `generation.follow` (follow a generation: the cohort born in a given year is highlighted and climbs while playing) and `generation.marks` (generation markers: "1946-1964 = Baby boom");
- `indicators.show` (demographic indicators: population, median and mean age, shares of young and older people, dependency ratio, ageing index, side ratio);
- `projection.show` (frames from a given year drawn hatched, pale or dashed, with a "Projection" tag);
- the `stack` role ("Sub-category ★", stacked from the center) and the `multiples` role ("Small multiples ★").
- The watermark depends on features actually applied: a generation or birth years with no known year (no play axis, `ages.year` = 0), a comparison without its field, bands or median / mean lines on non-numeric categories, or a surplus with a single side draw nothing and show no watermark.
- Without a valid key, a premium feature in use shows, in edit mode, a "Premium preview" note in the footer; in reading view, **"Plume Visuals · Premium preview"** (French « Plume Visuals · Aperçu premium ») is repeated lightly across the whole visual, without catching the mouse. It disappears once a key is pasted in **Format › Plume Studio License › License key** (`license.key`), the **first card** of the Format pane.
- Accepted keys: only keys starting with `PLUM1.` shown in the buyer's account on plumevisuals.com, checked offline (Ed25519 signature), covering `population-pyramid` or the whole catalog. Licenses last one year (one-time payment, no automatic renewal). Prices: 39 € personal, 99 € SME, 299 € enterprise per year, or the catalog pack.
## Expected data shape
One row per age (or band), per sex and, to animate, per year: `Population[Age]` (whole number or text band), `Population[Sex]` (two values), `Population[Year]` (whole number or date), `Population[Residents]`. The measure is a plain sum.
```dax
Number of residents = SUM ( Population[Residents] )
// Comparison ★ with the whole country while a slicer picks one area (compare shapes with pyramid.measure = pctTotal)
Residents of all areas = CALCULATE ( [Number of residents], REMOVEFILTERS ( Population[Area] ) )
// Comparison ★ with a fixed year
Residents in 1975 = CALCULATE ( [Number of residents], REMOVEFILTERS ( Population[Year] ), Population[Year] = 1975 )
```
Butterfly chart: no `side` field, two measures in `value` (e.g. satisfied managers and satisfied employees), any category in `age`; `ages.order` = `valueDesc` for a tornado; `pyramid.scaleMode` = `perSide` for measures with different units.
## Interactions with the report
- Click a bar: cross-filter on its age (or band: every age in it) and side; the selection is **not** tied to the year, so it stays while playing. Ctrl for several; click a side header = all bars of that side; click an empty area = clear. Cross-highlighting from other visuals draws the highlighted part inside dimmed bars. Context menu everywhere, including the landing screen.
- Hover: Power BI tooltip with age, side, value, share of the total and of the side, comparison and difference, Tooltips measures (summed when ages are grouped); report-page tooltips are supported.
- Keyboard: Tab to the play bar (Space play / pause, arrows, Home, End) or to the chart (arrows browse bars, Enter selects, Esc clears). High contrast, ARIA labels, French and English.
## Dynamic formats
- **fx button** (Power BI conditional formatting) on colors and texts of the Format pane.
- **"Dynamic format" well** (`format`): measures renamed `card.setting` (e.g. `title.text`, `pyramid.measure`, `generation.birthFrom`) drive any setting and win over the fixed value. Driving a ★ setting by DAX still shows the watermark without a key.
```dax
// renamed title.text
Title = "Age pyramid: " & SELECTEDVALUE ( Population[Area], "all areas" )
```
## Format pane: option IDs
- Card order: `license`, `style`, `dataColors`, `pyramid`, `ages`, `catAxis`, `valAxis`, `labels`, `legend`, `comparison`, `generation`, `indicators`, `projection`, `smallMultiples`, `play`, `ageLines` (Analytics pane), `interaction`, then `title`, `source`, `container`, `texts`. Format pane in version 1.1.0.0 (30/10/2026), top to bottom: `license`, `style`, `dataColors`, `pyramid`, `ages`, `labels`, `catAxis`, `valAxis`, `gridlines`, `legend`, `comparison`, `generation`, `indicators`, `projection`, `smallMultiples`, `play`, `interaction`, `tooltip`, `title`, `source`, `container`, `texts`; Analytics pane: `ageLines`.

## Editing a PBIP report (visual.json)
`visualType` is the visual GUID, `queryState` keys are the data role names, `objects` keys are the option IDs. Booleans `true` / `false`, numbers suffixed with `D`, strings and enumeration values in single quotes.
```json
{
"visualType": "plumePopulationPyramid247171417FEF4CFEA0FEE64FE39F53DF",
"query": {
"queryState": {
"age": { "projections": [ { "field": { "Column": { "Expression": { "SourceRef": { "Entity": "Population" } }, "Property": "Age" } }, "queryRef": "Population.Age", "nativeQueryRef": "Age" } ] },
"side": { "projections": [ { "field": { "Column": { "Expression": { "SourceRef": { "Entity": "Population" } }, "Property": "Sex" } }, "queryRef": "Population.Sex", "nativeQueryRef": "Sex" } ] },
"value": { "projections": [ { "field": { "Measure": { "Expression": { "SourceRef": { "Entity": "Population" } }, "Property": "Number of residents" } }, "queryRef": "Population.Number of residents", "nativeQueryRef": "Number of residents" } ] },

}
},

"license": [ { "properties": { "key": { "expr": { "Literal": { "Value": "'PLUM1.…'" } } } } } ]
}
}
```
The custom visual package must also be embedded in the report (Power BI does this when the visual is imported from the `.pbiviz` file).
## Styles and theme JSON
- `style.preset` takes one of the 20 style IDs shared by every Plume visual: `none`, `minimal`, `blackWhite`, `press`, `vintage`, `earth`, `nordic`, `executive`, `accessible`, `pastel`, `bauhaus`, `climate`, `blueprint`, `unknownPleasures`, `dark`, `neon`, `terminal`, `infographic`, `cockpit`, `hologram`. Side colors default to series colors 1 and 2 of the style; colors chosen in Data colors win.
- `style.themeJson` (Theme JSON ★): a JSON theme as plain text. Full reference: https://plumevisuals.com/ai/tutorials/en/themes-json.md.
## Common pitfalls
- Bands in alphabetical order: the labels contain no number ("Young", "Seniors"); use labels with ages or a sort-by column with `ages.order` = `model`.
- Both sides named after the measure: no `side` field (butterfly mode); put the sex in `side` and a single measure in `value`.
- "only … and … are drawn": the side field has more than two values.
- The pyramid adds up every year: no year is filtered and the year is not in `play` ★.
- No generation band, no birth years: unknown year (no play axis in years, `ages.year` = 0), or ages not numeric / not in automatic order; the generation is older than the last age.
- No data labels: rows shorter than `labels.minRow`; group ages or lower it.
- Watermark visible: play axis, computed bands, surplus of one side, birth years, median or mean age lines, comparison, followed generation, generation markers, indicators, projection, sub-category, small multiples, a ★ style or a theme JSON, without a valid key.
- The visual makes no network request: data and license key stay in the report; no R or Python.
## Features that do NOT exist (do not suggest them)
More than two sides (a third side value is ignored), error bars or vertical reference lines at a value, sorting one side independently of the other, images or flags, a population projection computed by the visual (projections come from the data; the visual only draws them differently), saving the playing year in the report, exporting the animation as a video or GIF.
## Data fields (wells)
Internal name = data role name (PBIP `queryState` key). Labels as shown in Power BI (English / French). ★ = premium.
| Internal name | Label (EN) | Label (FR) | Kind | Max fields | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `age` | Age (or age band, category) | Âge (ou tranche, catégorie) | column | 1 | One row per age or age band (0, 1, 2… or "0-4", "5-9", "100+"): sorted in natural numeric order. Any category for a butterfly chart. |
| `side` | Side (sex or any two-value field) | Côté (sexe ou champ à deux valeurs) | column | 1 | Two values face to face (men / women, before / after…). Without it, put two measures in Value. |
| `value` | Value (or two measures face to face) | Valeur (ou deux mesures face à face) | measure | 2 | Population, headcount… Negative values (the usual workaround) are read as positive. Without Side: two measures, one per side. |
| `play` | Play axis ★ | Axe de lecture ★ | column | 1 | Premium: year or date: the pyramid moves from one year to the next (play button), bars animated. |
| `compare` | Comparison ★ | Comparaison ★ | measure | 2 | Premium: another year, another territory or a target, drawn as an outline over the bars (one measure, or one per side without Side). |
| `stack` | Sub-category ★ | Sous-catégorie ★ | column | 1 | Premium: splits each bar (nationality, activity, region…), stacked from the center. |
| `multiples` | Small multiples ★ | Petits multiples ★ | column | 1 | Premium: one pyramid per value (region, country…), same scale. |
| `tooltips` | Tooltips | Infobulles | measure | 5 | |
| `format` | Dynamic format | Format dynamique | measure | several | Measures named card.setting (e.g. title.fontSize): drive any Format option with DAX |
Data view: categorical, categories = `age` + `play` + `stack` + `multiples` + `side` (one row per combination), 30,000 rows per data window (more fetched automatically); measures = `value`, `compare`, `tooltips`, `format`.
Capabilities: supportsHighlight, supportsKeyboardFocus, supportsMultiVisualSelection, supportsLandingPage, supportsEmptyDataView.
Network access: none (no privileges requested, no external request).
