The organization chart Power BI reports have been missing. Bind Employee ID, Manager ID and Name and the visual builds the whole hierarchy itself - no DAX path functions, no parent-child columns, no hard-coded levels. Missing managers, several top people, reporting loops and duplicate ids are handled and explained in a data-notes strip, never shown as an error.

Free features (no caps, no watermark):

Unlimited people from any id type (numbers, codes, e-mails); tested with 50,000 people
Branch view from a click or a slicer with a breadcrumb back, expand and collapse that the report remembers, expand all, expand to level N
Neighbourhood view: a person's managers, peers and direct reports on one screen
Search across the whole organization that ignores accents and case, with the path to the person highlighted
Photos (data URI columns) or initials, job title, department, extra lines, direct-report count, badges from flag columns
Positions and vacancies: job shares, one person on two positions, assistants beside their manager, contractors
Dotted-line managers, team cards for large flat teams, swimlanes by department, top-down or left-to-right layouts
Card actions: open the HR profile, chat in Teams, write an e-mail (https links only, on a click)
Vector PDF export (one page or poster tiles A4 / A3 / A1) and a CSV data-quality report
Privacy threshold that hides figures for small groups
Four themes with their own card style, every colour, font and shape adjustable; color cards by department, level or a value (two-colour scale), with native conditional formatting (fx) on card fill and per-row rules
Format on the canvas (on-object formatting): click a card, a connector, the legend, the toolbar or a strip and change it right there
Your model's format strings, including dynamic format strings, on card figures and tooltips
Cross-filtering (a click selects the person or the whole team, your choice), drill-through, report page tooltips, bookmarks that open the branches of the people they select, keyboard navigation, screen-reader list view, high contrast; 20 languages

Premium features (per-user license through Microsoft Marketplace):

Headcount, FTE and cost roll-ups: how many people and how much budget sit under every manager, for any measure
Span of control: bands, coloring, managers of one and over-span lists
Insights strip and organization health panel: layers, manager ratio, vacancy rate, cost per head
Plan vs actual: target headcount or budget against actual, with variance on every card
Snapshot comparison and history: joiners, leavers, moves and new titles between any two dates, attrition per branch, a timeline player
Scenario planning: move teams by drag and drop, add and vacate positions, compare the scenario with today and export the moves as CSV
Org-unit view, team composition bars and the people list export

A new visual starts with free features only: switch on Roll-Ups on Cards and the Insights Strip under Roll-Ups & Span of Control. Reports created before version 1.1.0.0 keep them exactly as they were. Every premium feature is fully unlocked while editing, so you can evaluate everything before buying. Viewers without a license always see the full free chart, never a blocked or watermarked visual. No data leaves Power BI: the visual makes no external calls, and HR data stays in your report.
