Week 6: Day 4 of Work Experience at LIT

Week 6
Day 4 of Work Experience at LIT

Started at 11:30 am, checked email, and plans for the day.

Read up on Power BI yesterday evening in preparation for today's training. Watched this u-tube video:

Microsoft Power BI.

Key points noted from above video and online literature:
Produce dashboards and reports on your desktop, tablet, power to mobile.
Up to date data analytics.
Use of keywords rather than complicated equations for calculated/presented data display.
A definition: is a suite of business tools that deliver insights through organisation.

Can connect to hundreds of data sources.
Simplified data preparation.
Live ad hoc analysis.
Production and publication of reports for an organisation that can be consumed on the web and across mobile devices.
Personalized dashboards.
Built in security.

Practical example: connect to the data in an Excel workbook to create Power BI reports and dashboards from it.

Brings details to life.
Transforms data into decisions.
