If you found this video helpful, you're going to LOVE my FREE Power BI QuickStart course 👉 link.xelplus.com/yt-c-beginner-powerbi-freecourse It's designed to get you results FAST, without the techy jargon.
do you know of a free course for teachers? My school is moving towards mounting these TVs that are interactive. I have been using an iPevo. FYI, I teach mathematics. Thank you steve
Thanks Leila, I am teaching Excel and Power BI to workers in different businesses as part of a continuing ed program. I always plug your channel with "By the way, if you want more check out this channel". Keep up the great work.
Definitely suggest adding Knaflic’s book, ‘Story Telling with Data’, to your resources list. The book is detailed, simple, and easy to digest - just like my ideal visuals 😊
Please more Power BI videos. The power of this tool is amazing. Do you have advice on how to create narrative stories? If you elongated a page I can see a great opportunity for infographics. 😊
I was thinking about this yesterday actually. Power BI does have some really cool visuals that would be very much welcomed in Excel. Let's hope the development team sees this!
@@LeilaGharani Not going to happen though is it, or else it will cut subscribership, there's loads of tools that could directly be added to Excel but not good business for MS when we pay monthly for Power Bi
@@swake1822 there are reasons not to use Excel for important business processes. I love Excel and I know how to handle it. But many people don't. And in bad hands Excel quickly becomes a mess. Also, many organizations who have moved to Office 365 have PBI already covered by their subscription already. They just don't bother using it, because Excel culture stands in their way
Thank you for the Power BI videos! You teach very well and they are easy to understand. You speak well and clearly too, which helps a lot when I'm trying to follow along with you. Please continue to share more Power BI tutorial! More power! ❤️
Great video. I suggest you make a video of presenting. I have noticed 98% of all videos on RU-vid the presenter use a lot of disturbing hand gestures. Why? News reporters keep their hands on the table, why? I saw a video of one person with a helmet camera driving a motorcycle and he started making gestures with both hands while driving. He almost lost control and had an accident! Always keep your hands on the handlebar while driving! You have a good clear voice and good speed in your talking on your videos, perfect.
Super video Leila! I am using Power BI, but got to know so much more about these visuals! And the way you explain is simply amazing! I am previewing your new Power BI course and already impressed! You are doing a great job, and I am buying this course for sure! 👍
Hi Leila, This is an amazing video. Thank you very much ! Would you mind please creating a video on how to build a risk matrix using Power BI ? This would be extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to watching your video on the risk matrix :) Many thanks.
I have completed your free Power BI training a gaint leap for all of us. I know this is not your problem, exchange rate, the cost in Big Mac's is 30 for a US citizen for us in Africa 77.5 Big Mac's.
Lovely !! That Decomposition tree can be an extremely powerful tool for finance performance analysis and measurement in finance and management accounting spaces.
Wow, another great video! Thank you @Leila for making us discover all the "power" of Power BI 🙂. Btw, I'm at 47% of your free preview and I've learned a lot.
I knew you could do a time element with Tableau’s scatter plots, but for some reason I didn’t think to check that PowerBI also had that same functionality. Thanks, that will be useful.
Maybe it is because I am not a frequent user, but Power BI frustrates me a lot compared to Excel, but some of its visualisation tools are great, and it's nice to be able to easily use Python to access proprietary databases without having to export and import data manually.
The way I see it Excel let's you do whatever you want but isn't very "smart" about it. So you need to manually connect all the pieces of the puzzle. The complexer the puzzle you make, the more lose ends you have to deal with (and it can end being a lot more work then you imaged). PowerBI on the other hand limits you in what you can do but this is to ensure it continues to understand your logic. I find that once I get going it is so much easier to finish a project and typically it just works without any undesired consequences no matter the complexity. So PowerBI is frustrating in the beginning but in the long run it just works.
Amazing...😀 The capability of Power BI is vast, so one needs to upscale their knowledge and know how to use the various visualization tools. Sure the upcoming course will do just that! Great video as always Leila.
Leila - I always watch your videos and am subscribed. Can you please post a video about how Iranians in Iran can utilize VPNs? They require guidance and you are very precise and technical and can explain the process very clearly.
Thank you Leila, a question about AI plots, if the AI picks gender first for example, is it gonna change overtime when we feed in new data? I mean is it gonna dynamically and automatically pick another category based on newly added data? (assuming the new data actually have changed the importance of first category) Hope I could explain my question correcly 😅
Thank you so much. By the way, do you know how we can show all the months of the last year but only the months that we select of the current year in a line graphic?
Hi Leila! I was using the decomposition tree as a complement to Drill-Through capability. But what I notice is that when I go back to the initial page, change selection and go to the drill-through again, the "scenario" in the drill-through headers continues to appear the same even if the figures in the tree are ok. This happens up until I start clicking through the decomposition tree and then the scenario in the header of the visualisation gets updated... any idea why? Thanks!
Hi Leia, I had a challenge recently where I manually created a report in Powerpoint (from a template) and adjusted the shapes to represent the data points for the column chart. In my exuberance to show off my skills, I made the data points overlap and blend into each other, using transparency to create a visually stunning effect. My customer loved it and wanted it as part of their monthly reports. This took 2 hours to do one chart, and I was not willing to put myself through that every month. Therefore I challenged myself to re-create this report in Excel, however I have never seen that effect before, and infact I could not find anyone online who had doen this before. I spent a few hours thinking it through and came up with a unique way to get this effect. Hit me up if you are interested in seeing the results.
Thanks for this video! Useful and inspiring as usual. Suggestion: another video specifically on the ribbon chart, how to enhance the input to be taken from the lighter areas (if we can add fields, etc... same way we do for the "Tootips") and if it's possible to have the total for each ribbon at the top. This visualization can be really informative so probably it's worth to have a dedicated tutorial to it... Thanks again! :)
Combine decomposition tree with a SWITCH-imbued measure to get the ultimate Power BI visual. This will allow users to select which function the tree is breaking down:. For ex: revenue, sales volume, budget variance and such.
Please show us how to set up the excel sheets for this. It is easy to pick items on the data to fill in the available fields to make a chart. It is not easy to set up the excel sheet appropriately in order to make all of this work in the first place.
Hi Leila - Loving your Power BI training videos and Fast Track course !! One question about Visuals that I can't seem to figure out - Is there a way to set custom increments for the range of values displayed on the x-axis & y-axis ? For example - If a Clustered Column Chart defaults to increments of $5M on the y-axis - is there any way to change this to smaller increments ? Thanx and keep the great training videos coming !!
Hi James. Currently in Power BI, you can just set the start and end / min and max. There is an (old) request with a lot of votes that's still pending ideas.fabric.microsoft.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=8d290c47-1aba-4044-920c-ba0ae3981742 - The recent BI updates don't also seem to have anything added for this purpose... If we can think of any workarounds will let you know. By the way, it's best if you post future questions in the comment section of the course. This way we make sure we don't miss your comment. On RU-vid sometimes they go under :)
I wonder if I can use this to analyse cash flow financial statements directly from Yahoo finance? Or even Income statements. Is it possible to import the financial data from the Yahoo finance and convert it to this?
