Visualising and Actioning Data

Power BI data visualizations & storytelling

Description

With the increased availability of data, effective data communication is becoming a sought-after skill. Effective data storytelling starts with questions: Which data to pick?

• How to Format Power BI visuals and use features like Analytics (adding Min, Max, Constant, Average, and Median lines), Q&A.

• How to layout visuals for better readability and use Power BI Background, Wallpaper, and Filter panes to instantly makeover the reports.
• How to design interactive reports using Power BI functionalities: Bookmarks, Selections, drill down and drill through.
• Power BI Templates and how to use existing corporate branding in Power BI Models and reuse it
