How do I get these specific pathlines to nodes?












2














I have four nodes, one parent and three children. I am trying to link with these specific arrow paths:



path lines I want



I have only just started working with the tikz package and my code so far looks like: 



usepackage{tikz}

usetikzlibrary{arrows,positioning,calc}



begin{document}



begin{tikzpicture}[

,node distance =5mm

,>=latex'

,block/.style ={

    ,draw

    ,minimum height = 10mm

    ,minimum width =28mm

    ,align=center

    }

,every path/.style={->} %sets arrow style

]

node [block]   (main) {Main};

node [block, below=of main] (second)   {Second};  

node [block, left=of second] (first)   {First};

node [block, right=of second] (third)  {Third};



draw (main) to (first);

draw (main) to (second);

draw (main) to (third);

end{tikzpicture}



end{document}


Which gives me:



enter image description here



I tried using -| but that only produced one corner in the path, not the two I need. Any help is appreciated.

What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

Image
0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?
